Weekly homeschool classes lasting an hour and 15 minutes will begin with Orton-Gillingham tutoring and moving into language acquisition of skills. Students will be explicitly taught reading through a multi-sensory approach teaching phonemic awareness, decoding skills, encoding skills, blending, memory techniques, and handwriting. The students will then make a smooth transition into language acquisition focusing on fluency which includes prosody, rate and accuracy of reading as well as comprehension skills. Other specific areas targeted based on your child’s needs could be sequencing, categorizing, answering “wh” questions, and recalling details.
