We offer free one-to-one, individualized tutoring using the Orton-Gillingham approach.  On average, children participate in the program for 2-3 years.

During the school year:
Sessions are available twice per week for an hour each session and run for 28 weeks during the school year, held after school hours.

During the summer:
Sessions are offered for 6 weeks during the summer, twice per week for an hour in the mornings.

Our Goal: For our students to read at grade level when they graduate from the program

Student progress is evaluated annually using the following standardized tests:

• The Woodcock Reading Mastery Test-Revised
• Test of Written Spelling
• Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing (CTOPP)
• Test of Word Reading Efficiency (TOWRE)

 

Children who are having reading difficulties and are suspected of having dyslexia must have been tested by a licensed psychologist (school or independent) before they apply for tutoring at our center.  The application form must be returned to the center with a copy of the complete psychological evaluation in order for the child to be considered for our program.

 Currently, we are unable to accept new applications.
