It's not always easy for students to learn to read, particularly if they have reading challenges such as dyslexia. Luckily, the Orton-Gillingham approach has been proven to successfully help struggling readers. Visit UniversityTutor.com to find a Boston Orton-Gillingham tutor who can address your child's reading difficulties using this structured, multisensory approach.
The central tenet of the Orton-Gillingham approach is the use of multisensory experiences that aid students in connecting the letters they see on the page with the sounds they make. Tutors use the student's existing skills and abilities to make connections in creative ways. They might utilize a child's sense of touch by having them write letters and words in shaving cream or homemade slime. If they have a kinesthetic learner, they could have them walk around letter shapes on the floor, helping them connect the letter and its sound to movement as a memory aid.
UniversityTutor.com lists a handful off Orton-Gillingham tutors in Boston, and there are more available online for virtual sessions. Whether your child is just learning to string letters into words, struggling to write a book report, or even studying for the MCAS (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System) exams, they can benefit from a tutor using the Orton-Gillingham method.
