OUR APPROACH TO DYSLEXIA
Every child is uniquely different, but there are some core strategies that need to be developed with a child who is struggling with dyslexia. It's important that students develop phonemic and phonological awareness, learn basic phonics and spelling rules, and gain the ability to read and spell sight words.
Our tutors use a phonics based program that is systematic, sequential, explicit, and multi-sensory to help our students develop these skills.
