Orton-Gillingham Tutoring
The Orton-Gillinghham approach is a research based program that was developed by Bessie Stillman, Anna Gillingham and Samuel Orton in the 1930’s to remediate the difficulties associated with dyslexia. Children are taught explicitly and prescriptively in a multisensory fashion.



Courtenay Based Tutoring Service
We have a professional tutoring space and classroom situated on a beautiful West Courtenay property on a quiet street. Orton-Gillingham tutoring involves a variety of materials and it is easier for us to work out of a classroom space versus travelling to our clients. Each student has their own learning style and not every child requires the use of the same materials.
A Different Approach
Children with language based learning disabilities learn to read, spell and write best when being taught using the Multisensory Approach. During an Orton-Gillingham lesson the student uses their visual, auditory, kinesthetic and/or tactile systems in order to maximize the learning process.

Basic
Basic Orton-Gillingham consists of phonetic reading and spelling. These students are usually beginning readers and writers who are still learning the sounds and symbols of the alphabet.

Intermediate
Intermediate Orton-Gillingham consists of learning more than one sound for a phonogram (c cat /k/ and c before eiy /s/) as well as spelling generalizations (ck /k/ at the end of a one syllable word after a short vowel), spelling patterns and affixes.

Advanced
Advanced Orton-Gillingham. Once the child has made the shift from reading words syllabically to morphologically and can use the basic. This level of study involves using all levels of word structure.
