About Our Program
The Orton Gillingham Institute specializes in reading intervention tutoring, assessment, and curriculum development, specializing in Orton-Gillingham, a proven method for aiding students with difficulties in reading, writing, and math. The program is designed to assist students with diagnoses such as Dyslexia, Autism, Dysgraphia, ADHD, and Dyscalculia, among others. We provide a holistic educational support system, addressing both academic and cognitive development.
Our instructional therapy tutoring services are not just for those diagnosed with learning differences. Any student who struggles with academic performance, and specifically in reading and all of its components can significantly benefit from our specialized approach. Not only are we addressing issues like phonics, decoding, morphology, fluency, writing, and comprehension; but we're also addressing issues like self-esteem, confidence, and group building.
The virtual tutoring program is divided into three levels, catering to a multitude of reading levels and types of reading difficulties. By following a scope and sequence, weekly developed lesson plans, and local and national reading standards we provide an invaluable resource to students, parents, and schools looking to provide or supplement their reading intervention programs.
Our virtual tutoring and testing offers a tangible, scalable, and collaborative reading intervention program; not just random, fly-by-night, 1-on-1 or Small Group Tutoring. These levels are meticulously designed to address the unique challenges that each stage of reading presents from basic word recognition to more complex sentence structure and comprehension. In developing the virtual programs we've been sure to ensure that students have access to multiple instructors during sessions; and that all students are involved in both individual and group work during live sessions to encourage confidence and camaraderie during live virtual instruction.
Instructional Therapy/Tutoring Types
1-on-1 Instruction
During 1-on-1 instructional therapy/tutoring, your child is seen 1-on-1 by a practitioner. Private tutoring/instructional therapy sessions generally run from 60 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes each session. The length of the session will be dependent upon a number of factors, including age, availability, the severity of need, and the diagnosis to name a few. During private tutoring/instructional therapy sessions, all workbooks, worksheets, manipulatives, materials and the like will be provided to your child. Most students who choose 1-on-1 instruction are seen 2-3 times per week. Parents/Guardians who choose this route should be prepared to commit to a minimum of 12-16 weeks of instruction depending on the number of hours your child has committed to per week.
Small-Group Instruction
During small-group instruction, students are grouped into classes based on their reading level and age/grade. Small group sessions are hosted multiple times per week. Students can participate in small group instruction live, on-site at our offices, or virtually from the comfort of their own homes. All students are given both reading and math tests upon enrollment (not to be confused with academic testing). Small group sessions run from 45 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes in length. Schedules, locations, and dates for new cohorts are updated each season with new cohorts beginning each spring, summer, and fall/winter.
