What is Simply Read Tutoring?
What we do
We are passionate about helping individuals of all ages develop their reading and literacy skills.
At Simply Read Tutoring, we believe that everyone can become a confident reader, regardless of their starting point. To achieve this, we use the Orton-Gillingham method, a proven and highly effective approach to teaching reading.
What is Orton-Gillingham?
The Orton-Gillingham approach is a multisensory, structured, and sequential method designed to help individuals with dyslexia and other reading difficulties. It breaks down the reading and writing process into manageable steps and engages multiple senses to reinforce learning. This means that our students see, hear, and touch the concepts they are learning, which helps to solidify their understanding and retention.
How We Use Orton-Gillingham at Simply Read Tutoring
At Simply Read Tutoring, we customize our Orton-Gillingham lessons to meet the unique needs of each student. Here’s how we do it:
- Assessment and Personalization: We start with a comprehensive assessment to identify each student's strengths and areas for improvement. Based on the results, we create a personalized learning plan tailored to their specific needs.
- Multisensory Techniques: Our lessons incorporate visual, auditory, and kinesthetic activities. For example, students might trace letters in sand, use colored markers to highlight syllables, or clap out the sounds in words. These techniques make learning engaging and effective.
- Structured and Sequential Instruction: We follow a carefully structured and sequential approach, ensuring that each new concept builds on previous knowledge. This helps students master each step before moving on to the next.
- Positive Reinforcement and Encouragement: Building confidence is key to our approach. We celebrate our students' progress and provide constant encouragement, helping them to stay motivated and positive about their learning journey.
