Orton-Gillingham is an intensive, sequential phonics-based system that teaches the basics of word formation. It is research ased, and one of the most effective ways to teach reading.

The Orton-Gillingham method is a visual, auditory, and tactile approach to learning the alphabetic code. This assumes that every student learns to read due to the multisensory presentation in multiple avenues to the brain. Levy Learning Center tutors are certified Orton-Gillingham specialists. In addition to receiving Orton-Gillingham reading therapy, the Center offers the option of child to practice on Orton-Gillingham software for drill and practice at home. Our tutors ensure that the Orton-Gillingham method is implemented in the proper sequence. It is impossible to skip steps. Therefore the student learns the grapheme (letter) phoneme (sound) connection. This phonological approach allows the student to do sound blending into words. They also develop fluency through the word-per-minute training. For the past 45 years Levy Learning Center is the only learning center that provides trained Orton-Gillingham tutors to your home or our learning center. MaxPhonics software and Levy Learning Center tutors are an insurance policy to make sure every child develops the proper foundation in reading.
