Does This Sound Like Your Child?

  • Guesses at words instead of sounding them out
  • Reads slowly and is worn out after a page
  • Spells the same word differently each time
  • Still mixes up b and d after age 7
  • Avoids reading aloud
  • Understands a story read to them much better than one they read

How Our Orton-Gillingham Trained Tutors Teach Reading

1Find the Starting PointIn the first session your tutor checks which sounds and word types your child already knows, so lessons start where your child is, not where their grade is.
2One New Thing at a TimeOur tutors are trained in Orton-Gillingham. Each lesson teaches one sound or spelling pattern clearly and in order, then reviews the ones before it.
3See It, Hear It, Move ItYour child hears every sound, builds words with letter tiles they move on screen, and traces letters with a finger or stylus.
4Read Real StoriesShort stories use only the sounds your child has learned, and they are about what your child loves. Older kids work on long words and their own schoolwork.

Questions Parents Ask

Does my child need a dyslexia diagnosis?

No. Many families start with us before or without a diagnosis. We teach the reading skills your child needs; we never diagnose.

Are your tutors trained in Orton-Gillingham?

Yes. Our tutors are trained in Orton-Gillingham, and every lesson follows its clear, step-by-step approach to sounds and spelling.

Can a child with dyslexia really learn to read online?

Yes, when the lessons are built for online. Your child moves letter tiles, traces and reads on a shared screen with the tutor, who sees every move as it happens.

How often should my child have sessions?

Most families choose two sessions a week of 30 or 45 minutes. Little ones often start with 20 minutes. You can change it any time.

How will I know it is working?

You get a short note after every session and a progress summary every 1 week, showing which skills your child can now do on their own.

What ages do you teach?

Ages 3 to 12, from Pre-K to Grade 7. Older children work on the same skills with age-respectful stories.

Is there a dyslexia tutor near me?

You do not need one nearby. Sessions are live, one-to-one and online (virtual tutoring by video), so a trained tutor comes to you wherever you live in the US, with no driving.
