reading therapy
What is reading therapy? Learning to read is the most important tool for any child’s development. Reading therapy is more than just tutoring. It is a multifaceted program based on an Orton-Gillingham model. Orton-Gillingham is a phonics-based, sequential, multi-sensory, explicit method, designed for intense intervention, using movement and all five senses to teach reading, spelling, writing, and penmanship. We use the Barton Reading and Spelling System; which has been researched and proven to work with all ages, from 5 ½ to adult. Depending on each client’s needs, additional programs utilized include Foundation in Sounds, the PASP program, Spalding, and Handwriting Without Tears. Reading Therapy works to improve auditory discrimination, auditory memory size, auditory sequencing skills, phonological awareness, phonics, spelling rules, reading fluency, vocabulary, reading comprehension, basic language skills, and handwriting (dysgraphia).
