Expert Reading Support—From Wherever You Are

Can Orton-Gillingham Really Work Online?

Yes. Virtual intervention is still live, interactive, and one-on-one.

Virtual sessions closely mirror the same individualized Orton-Gillingham instruction that is provided person. Students practice the same essential skills—reading, spelling, sound manipulation, word building, and connected-text reading—with digital or hands-on alternatives used when needed.

Sessions are interactive and individualized, with students reading, spelling, manipulating sounds and words, and actively working throughout the lesson.

Same lesson, different format.

The integrity of an Orton-Gillingham lesson is completely preserved.

As students progress in their learning, they will work with word parts. This can be a tool for decoding unfamiliar words, improve reading fluency, vocabulary and spelling.

Unscrambling can be done with words or sentences and can improve spelling and reading. Using post-its or labels can make the task more engaging.
