Literacy Tutoring Services
Word of Mouth provides evidence-based literacy tutoring services to help struggling readers! Using the Orton-Gillingham approach, your child will gain confidence and experience greater success in school.
getting started
While we do not diagnose dyslexia, we are able to provide evidence-based literacy interventions to support your child's academic success. We will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your child's literacy strengths and weaknesses in order to address the following:
-
Dyslexia
-
Dysgraphia
-
Challenges with Reading Fluency
-
Challenges with Phonemic Awareness
Word of Mouth requires a minimum of two 45-minute sessions per week in order to achieve best outcomes.
our Specialties
Dyslexia is the most under-diagnosed learning disability, and it is at the root of many students' academic difficulties. We will support your child in developing essential skills for academic success, including:
-
Phonological skills
-
Spelling (encoding) skills
-
Reading (decoding) skills
-
Reading comprehension
-
Self-confidence
Our literacy lessons are carefully planned for each individual and can be adapted at any time during the lesson.
our Approach
Word of Mouth uses the Orton-Gillingham approach to support school-age children in developing strong reading and writing skills. Our sessions combine structured literacy instruction with engaging activities, such as:
-
Writing in rice
-
Making music with words
-
Playing games
-
Building words with tiles
Orton-Gillingham is multi-sensory instruction; meaning that it engages your child's visual, auditory, and kinesthetic-tactile pathways for learning, all at the same time, leading to greater success. Your child will "see it, hear it, and move with it!"
