Why Reading Therapy?

Reading Therapy is not informal tutoring, but rather the gold standard of remediation for those with dyslexia and Specific Language Disorders. It is a 1-to-1 clinically diagnostic reading intervention that is intensive, systematic, cumulative, and highly structured. It is delivered by highly qualified specialist teachers and designed to permanently change the functioning of the dyslexic brain.

Multisensory

A learner simultaneously uses their visual, auditory, and kinesthetic-motor processing, cementing skills in long term memory.

Systematic and Cumulative

Instruction follows the order of language, from the easiest to most complex concepts, reviewing along the way.

Direct

Students are not expected to infer anything. All concepts are taught directly and practiced until a student has mastered them.

Diagnostic

Prescriptive, individualized, and adaptive teaching based on ongoing assessment of the learner and their mastery.

Research Based

Considered the gold standard for remediation of dyslexia following the Orton-Gillingham approach.
