Best for struggling readers
Orton-Gillingham is widely recognized as the gold standard for dyslexia instruction. This evidence-based, structured, multisensory approach teaches reading in a way that is explicit, systematic, and responsive to each student’s needs.
Teachers leave the program with practical, classroom-ready strategies they can begin using immediately to help students strengthen reading, spelling, and language skills while building confidence along the way.
Too many students are falling behind in reading.
Only 49% of Duval County students are reading on or above grade level by the end of the school year, and thousands of students throughout Northeast Florida have dyslexia. Many educators are passionate about helping struggling readers but have never received specialized training in dyslexia instruction.
