Reading & Literacy Tutoring
Structured, sequential, multisensory reading instruction rooted in the Orton-Gillingham Approach - from early phonics to advanced comprehension.
Our Approach
The Orton-Gillingham Difference
Unlike generic tutoring, Structured Literacy targets the root causes of reading difficulty through six interconnected principles.
Structured & Sequential
Skills are introduced in a logical order, building from simple to complex. No gaps, no guessing — just clear, scaffolded progress.
Multisensory Learning
We engage visual, auditory, and kinesthetic channels simultaneously so new patterns stick more deeply and transfer to real reading.
Explicit & Systematic
Nothing is left to chance. Every rule and pattern is directly taught, practiced, and reviewed — over and over until it becomes automatic.
Cumulative Review
Each lesson builds on prior lessons. Concepts are revisited regularly to ensure retention and build fluency across the long term.
Diagnostic & Responsive
We continuously assess where each student is and adjust instruction in real time, ensuring your child is always working at the right level.

Types We Treat
All Types of Dyslexia & Dysgraphia
Dyslexia is not one-size-fits-all. Our diagnostic approach identifies which type your child has so instruction targets the right deficit.
The most common type. Difficulty breaking words into sounds and matching them to letters. Students struggle to sound out unfamiliar words.
Difficulty recognizing familiar words by sight. Students struggle with irregularly spelled words and read slowly, sounding out every word.
A deficit in speed of naming letters, numbers, colors, or objects in sequence. Impacts reading fluency and speed more than accuracy.
Difficulty processing what is seen on the page — letter reversals (b/d), losing place, or words appearing to blur or move.
A combination of phonological processing deficits and naming speed deficits — often resulting in more severe difficulties requiring intensive intervention.
Significant difficulty with writing — illegible handwriting, poor spelling, and struggles organizing thoughts on paper. Often co-occurs with dyslexia and ADHD.
Not sure which type your child has?
We conduct an informal diagnostic screening at the start of every engagement to identify the right approach before instruction begins.
