Our tools and approach are age-flexible. Use our adaptable, multi-sensory, structured literacy materials to fill in gaps and teach advanced concepts to elementary, middle school, high school, or adult students, or teach the foundation for the first time to early learners. How does that work?

Our training and products are flexible by design, so you can adapt how you frame a lesson to be appropriate for a six-year-old, or a sixteen-year-old, depending on what they need.

Older learners who struggle with literacy still need to build the same foundational concepts as those seeing phonics for the first time.

We find that most literacy-teaching tools out there are geared for early learners and are therefore inappropriate for most intervention students. We are different because our origin is in dyslexia intervention, and most of our students are ages 9-14, or even older.

Yes! Our Sound Cards are designed for both parents and educators to teach and build kids' phonics skills, whether you've had OG training before or not. There are scripted teaching notes on the back of the cards, as well as easy-to-follow instructional videos in our Phonics Accelerator Course so you can work with your child with the confidence of a certified OG teacher. We promise it will be straightforward, fun, and most importantly, effective.

No, only pediatricians and speech-language professionals formally diagnose dyslexia, dysgraphia, and other language-related learning differences. Our tools and training are designed to provide the most effective structured, multi-sensory approach we can offer to support learners with and without dyslexia.

A formal diagnosis can help you secure accommodations in school, but you do not need one to help your child build strong literacy. The assessment in our courses can help you define your learner's current level of mastery and give you a starting place.

Absolutely. Our multi-sensory activities are easily scalable from 1:1 tutoring to small-group or whole-classroom instruction, and vice-versa. The strategies you'll learn to implement in our course are perfect for helping you initially assess the whole class to figure out which of your students could likely use more targeted, structured literacy instruction. Phonemic awareness, repetition, and consistency are key, and our cards and activities provide the perfect bridge to teaching structured literacy.

Yes! Our approach is firmly rooted in the principles of Orton-Gillingham—a structured, sequential, multisensory method that has been proven effective for learners with dyslexia and beneficial for all readers. We pair this with the evidence-based findings of the Science of Reading, which draws on decades of research in cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and education to explain how the brain learns to read.

By combining OG’s hands-on, individualized techniques with SOR’s research-backed focus on phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension, we ensure instruction is explicit, systematic, and adaptable to each learner’s needs.

No, we are not a tutoring service. Our mission is to make our structured, multi-sensory approach, training, and tools accessible to everyone so as many people can get the help they need as possible.
