At Turning Pages Tutoring, we know that learning to read is not a one-size-fits-all journey. That’s why we rely on the Orton-Gillingham Method — a proven, research-based approach that aligns closely with the Science of Reading — to help students build strong, confident literacy skills.
The Science of Reading is a vast body of research that explains how the brain learns to read. It shows that effective reading instruction must be explicit, systematic, and grounded in phonics. The Orton-Gillingham Method fits this model perfectly. Designed specifically to support students with dyslexia and other reading challenges, Orton-Gillingham breaks reading and writing into clear, manageable steps. It uses a multisensory approach, engaging visual, auditory, and kinesthetic pathways to help students truly understand how language works.
At Turning Pages, we put these principles into action every day. Our tutors provide individualized instruction that moves at the student’s pace, ensuring that foundational skills like decoding, spelling, and comprehension are fully mastered before moving on. This structured, personalized approach helps students make lasting connections and gain the confidence they need to succeed in the classroom and beyond.
One of the biggest advantages of using the Orton-Gillingham Method alongside the Science of Reading is its adaptability. Whether a student is just beginning their literacy journey or is working to close skill gaps, our tutors meet them where they are and guide them forward with proven strategies and compassionate support.
Reading is a critical life skill, and every child deserves the right tools to succeed. At Turning Pages Tutoring, we are committed to providing instruction that is not only backed by science but also tailored to the unique needs of each learner. With the Orton-Gillingham Method and the Science of Reading as our foundation, we help students turn the page toward a brighter, more confident future. Learn more by calling us at (616) 243-7323.
