OG's Success with the
Multisensory Approach
has Proven Itself Time and Again!
It is often especially true of dyslexic students that the kinesthetic pathway (learning by activity/movement/sensory activities) is often the best pathway to ensure material is not only understood but also makes it into their long-term memory. OG not only uses this pathway but the auditory and visual as well! This multi-sensory approach is vital to the success of many students!
Individualized and
Customized Learning
Plans
The lessons are individually tailored and specifically written with your student in mind! The Orton Gillingham program sets that each lesson plan be written AFTER the previous lesson is taught so that the tutor can tailor fit the next lesson to the specific and updated needs of each student!
Different Students
Require Different
Approaches to Learning
Every student is different and it is important that this be recognized and that every effort be made to help each student find their learning style and the learning tools that help them learn to their best potential. The OG tutoring method uses a multisensory approach to learning so that information is given several pathways into the brain, helping ensure that the material gets put into and retained in the long-term memory.
Pre-Assessments
Ensure A
Tailored Fit
Before tutoring sessions begin there will be at least one assessment session in which the Gallistel Ellis Test of Coding Skills and Auditory Drill assessments are administered. This gives the tutor a roadmap of where the student has been and where he or she needs to go ensuring that each Orton Gillingham based tutoring session is as tailored as possible to your student!
What Parents are Saying
"Sarah has been wonderful to work with, and I have seen so much improvement in my child's skills. Sarah clearly cares about children's progress, and goes above and beyond to be available and flexible in finding times to meet with her students. She modified the sessions to meet via Zoom when necessary, and also honored requests to meet in person as much as possible. I feel very lucky that Sarah worked with my daughter, and fully intend to request tutoring sessions again for my daughter should we find it necessary. But I suspect we will have a challenging time getting in!" - Terri W.
"Since starting online sessions with Sadie my son has made great progress in reading and spelling. His teachers noticed immediately and wondered what we were doing differently at home. It has been so rewarding to have FINALLY found a program that works for him. Sadie is patient and "gets it," she is a mom and picks up on my son's cues of frustration when things get hard. She knows how to redirect him so they can progress the lesson or she changes her delivery of the material so she can reach him where he needs her to be. My only wish is that we had started sooner."

"My husband and I began to notice that our daughter was struggling in school towards the end of kindergarten, specifically with reading and writing (and math but we didn’t notice that at that time).
We met Sadie two years later. After having our daughter assessed we found out she had dyslexia. Our daughter began tutoring with Sadie in the spring/summer of 2022. We noticed improvements in our daughter’s reading after only a few sessions. At the end of 30 sessions our daughter had made significant improvements. Sadie has been an encouragement to not only our daughter but to us as well. She has given us many tools and has pointed us towards helpful resources. We are so grateful to Sadie for all that she has done to help us!"
