 Orton-Gillingham for Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten

Orton-Gillingham is effective for children with dyslexia; it is also a great way for any Pre-Kindergarten- or Kindergarten- age child to learn the fundamentals they will need to become fluent readers. Children in Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten are instructed using a variety of methods based on those developed by Samuel T. Orton and Anna Gillingham, other practitioners of Orton-Gillingham, and our own experiences working with children with various reading and attention difficulties. more

 Handwriting Without Tears ®

The Handwriting Without Tears ® program was developed by an Occupational Therapist to help children who were having a difficult time learning print and cursive. It is also a great addition to the Orton-Gillingham curriculum. We have used this program with many different students and find it highly effective at correcting messy handwriting, reversals, paper placement trouble, and handwriting fatigue. Students with dysgraphia and dyslexia especially benefit from this program. The Handwriting Without Tears ® program for Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten keeps young children engaged and interested with fun, multisensory lessons. The Pre-Kindergarten curriculum focuses on print-awareness and fine and gross motor control. Pre-Kindergarten students will begin to print capital letters. more The Kindergarten program uses hands-on manipulatives and students learn to print capital and lower-case letters and numbers. more

Please note that the HWT program requires an additional materials fee, depending on the level of the student. This includes a consumable workbook for the student to keep.
