OUR APPROACH
Rooted in how the brain actually learns to spell.
Spelling isn't memorization — it's a skill built on understanding sound-letter patterns, syllables, and word structure. I use Orton-Gillingham, a structured, multisensory, and sequential method, together with current Science of Reading research, so lessons build logically and stick for the long term.
-
Explicit, systematic instruction
​
-
Multisensory practice (see, say, hear, write)
​
-
Diagnostic & responsive to each child
​
-
Cumulative — always building on mastered skills
