ONE-TO-ONE SCHOOL YEAR TUTORING
ORTON-GILLINGHAM LESSONS
Orton-Gillingham is the Gold Standard for dyslexic students
During the school year we offer accredited one-to-one Orton-Gillingham reading, writing, and spelling lessons daily from 8:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m. scheduled on a weekly basis. Also available are multisensory math and English skills one-to-one or small group lessons.
We are offering a "recession" special of $45 a lesson.
Our one-to-one lessons will raise your child's performance to meet his or her potential. Help your child learn to read at grade level. "Teach out" the reading difficulty by enriching their brain's language association area with phonemic awareness and simultaneous kinesthetic, tactile, visual, and auditory multisensory practice with alphabetic letter and sound knowledge. Choose the tutoring which was created for dyslexics and has a sixty year history of success, Orton-Gillingham, a multisensory, sequential, structured language education strategy.
Choose language therapists teaching for professional membership levels in the only program in North Carolina that is accredited by two international accrediting bodies, The Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators (AOGPE) and The International Multisensory Structured Language Education Council, Inc.(IMSLEC). Greenhills School is a training site for AOGPE and presents Institutes and tutoring accredited by AOGPE and IMSLEC.
The program is headed by Marjory Roth, who has been a Fellow of AOGPE since 1997 and is a member of the Board of Directors of IMSLEC.
One-to-one classic Orton-Gillingham lessons are available two, three, four, or five days weekly. These lessons are for 50 minutes and are available from 8:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m. on weekdays at Greenhills School. This is a weekly schedule that lasts throughout the Fall Session and ends with the Christmas Holidays.
Psycho-educational testing results are required for admission
to the program. However we will screen your child for a $100 fee if
your child has not yet been tested for a Learning Disability. If we see
high risk signs of dyslexia, we will admit your child to our program.
Parent consultations and conferences are free. Placement Testing is
scheduled for no additional fee during the first two lessons. Mrs. June
Lyday Orton found that three days weekly are required to ensure the
student's good progress, and we recommend following this. However, due to the
recession, we will schedule only two days a week if that if necessary
for your budget. Progress will be made, although at a
slower pace.
Any lessons missed due to illness, a doctor's appointment, a special program, or inclement weather should be rescheduled if the Orton-Gillingham teacher and parents can find a mutually agreeable time. Other missed lessons will be charged.
All teachers have successfully completed the 70 hour Associate Level course work toward The Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators membership and some are teaching as part of their three-year Supervised Practicum for various levels of membership in AOGPE. Many have taught the Orton-Gillingham approach for five years or more. Marjory Roth supervises the teaching, reviews all lesson plans, is available for questions, in addition to your tutor, and meets with parents and their child's tutor at conferences. Mrs. Roth may be assisted with observations by Amy Rominger, Fellow-in-Training/AOGPE. Mrs. Rominger and Ms. Anne Glenn, language therapist, may assist Mrs. Roth with teacher's lesson planning.
