Reading

Interevntion

Using an Orton-Gillingham approach (which is considered the gold-standard of reading instruction for struggling or dyslexic readers), reading intervention is individualized according to the needs of each child.

Our reading intervention is based on The Science of Reading, a comprehensive body of research that encompasses years of scientific knowledge, spans across many languages, and shares the contributions of experts from relevant disciplines such as education, special education, literacy, psychology, neurology, and more. The Science of Reading has demystified how we learn to read and offers evidence backed by science to confirm that there is one right way to teach reading.

Sessions incorporate the following:

  • Handwriting and letter formation

  • Phonemic awareness (the ability to hear and manipulate individual sounds)

  • Decoding (reading words and sentences)

  • Encoding (spelling words and sentences)

  • Comprehension (answering wh-questions, story grammar, main idea and details, etc.)
