Learning Language Through a Different Lense: The Orton-Gillingham Approach
Thank you for your interest in SBN Dyslexia etc. I provide tutoring services using the Orton-Gillingham Approach and guidance to parents looking for a network of professionals that can be of assistance.
“I have worked with students of different ages, cultural backgrounds, and profiles. Although they differ in their strengths and weaknesses, they all have one thing in common. Their complex and curious minds can learn to read through the Orton-Gillingham approach. I use it with my students, and I use it with my own son.”

Explore Our Decodable Stories
Explore a selection of decodable stories inspired by June Lyday Orton’s A Guide to Teaching Phonics (1976, The Orton Reading Center). The stories begin with the short vowel a and the five consonants, b, s, f, m, t and continue to introduce one new concept at a time, as is typically done when using the Orton-Gillingham Approach. Therefore, readers should start with the oldest post first for the simplest of stories. For questions, contact me HERE.
