The right support can transform the lives of children with dyslexia. Our dyslexia intervention program uses the Orton-Gillingham multisensory method, a proven and effective approach. It adapts itself to meet each individual’s learning pace. With structured lessons that are constantly tracked and ongoing communication with the families, we make sure each child makes measurable improvements and gains confidence.
The Foundation: Orton-Gillingham-Based Instruction
At the center of our program, we use the Orton-Gillingham methodology. This method emphasizes explicit, systematic, and cumulative phonological awareness and phonics instruction. Also, it focuses on fluency and vocabulary. OG’s lessons are designed with multiple senses in mind – sight, hearing, touch, and even movement – so students can connect language patterns.
Each session begins with a recap of previously learned concepts to reinforce their memory. Following this is a direct teaching on a newly acquired skill. This might involve introducing a new phoneme, spelling, or syllable type. Then students get to do hands-on work, such as blending and segmenting the sounds, writing on whiteboards or sandpaper, and reading aloud. This is all done under the guidance of a trained OG Specialist.
Lesson Pacing: Mastery Over Speed
Our dyslexia intervention program, unlike the traditional classroom, emphasizes mastery. Our program is designed to ensure that students consistently master a given concept across different modes.
Pacing is tailored. It is possible for a child who has mastered digraphs to move on to blends with just a couple of sessions. Another child may need two full weeks of reinforcement to reach fluency. Our educators assess learning for automaticity and universality to ensure it sticks.

Built-In Mastery Checks: Ensure Readiness
Each lesson cycle contains built-in assessments of mastery. These informal tests are conducted at natural breakpoints, for example, after introducing or completing new decoding drills. We use techniques like spoken reading, dictation, and timed-fluency exercises to evaluate comprehension.
Diagnostic tools aligned with OG standards are regularly used to conduct formalized checks. These tools enable us to track a student’s progress on decoding, encoding, fluency, and understanding. If a pupil does not achieve the expected level, we will revisit the skill by reteaching it and adding more practice. Often, different multisensory learning techniques are used to reinforce the lesson.
Our educators track student responses live using a digital monitoring system. This provides an instant view of progress and flags problematic areas. This system becomes a key component of the planning process for our teachers and parents.
Transparent Data Tracking: Observations Turned Into Action
Data tracking offers more than compliance. It provides a roadmap for interventions. Every session, educators record the performance of students on core skills. These include phonemic literacy, sound and symbol correspondence, reading ability, spelling ability, as well reading comprehension.
This information is collected into weekly reports to track trends. Is the student always reversing B and D? Are they struggling with multisyllable words? These insights guide the next week’s lessons, ensuring that skills gaps are closed as soon as possible.
A student’s progress is measured not only by their skill level but also by the time they spend reading. How long does it take an individual student to read the controlled passage? Are their errors declining? Are they self-correcting? These micro-observations help us make macro-decisions–whether it’s time to move forward, review, or modify instruction.
Real-Time Parent Reporting
Parents should be involved in the process of learning. Parents are provided with frequent and transparent updates. Every month, caregivers receive an updated progress summary.
- Introduction and mastery skills
- The challenges that continue and the plans for intervention
- Fluency, accuracy, and measurement metrics
- Anecdotal notes about confidence, behavior, and motivation
Parents have access to a digital dashboard that shows real-time statistics. The parent can check which lessons the child has completed. He or she can track mastery checks and listen to reading samples recorded when available. This transparency fosters trust and family participation, which are important for success.
We schedule quarterly conferences where educators guide families through student development, address concerns, and collaborate on at-home learning strategies.
Why it Works
The success of the dyslexia treatment program we offer is based on 3 key pillars. Together, these components create an experience centered on the student that fosters literacy confidence and independence.
Our program aims to make students feel confident, understood, and capable. Whether your child has just begun their journey or requires a targeted boost, we have the tools and experience to help unlock their fullest potential.
