Our Orton-Gillingham Tutors Can Teach

Your Child to Read and Spell Fluently

Is your child struggling with reading and spelling? 

Do they avoid reading assignments, feel overwhelmed with words, and are below grade level in reading and spelling? 

If your child has dyslexia, ADHD, or a learning disability, you’ve likely watched them struggle to sound out words or read sentences. It can be heartbreaking to watch your child lose their confidence. 

You want them to enjoy reading as much as their favorite hobbies, like sports or video games, and read and spell at or above grade level.

More importantly, you want them to gain the skills they need to thrive in school and life.

Maybe you’ve tried other tutoring programs that didn’t help, leaving you frustrated and unsure of what to do next.

Orton-Gillingham Approach + Personalized Tutoring = Reading and Spelling Fluency

Your child will develop fluency in phonemic awareness, phonics, blending, decoding, and spelling.

Our personalized Orton-Gillingham tutoring aligned with the Science of Reading has helped beginning readers, struggling readers, and students with dyslexia, ADHD, or learning differences improve their reading and spelling skills.

To make reading interactive, we use multisensory tools like letter and syllable tiles, sound chips, writing, hand movements, and skill-based games. The guided practice helps your child retain, recall, and confidently apply the new reading and spelling skills they’ve learned.

As your child becomes fluent in reading and spelling, they will grow more confident and self-reliant. We love hearing students say, “I don’t need your help. I can read this myself!”

In case you were wondering who’s leading these remarkable learning transformations…

Hello, I’m Sylvia Hodges, and it’s nice to meet you!

I’m the director and interventionist. I’ve taught for over 26 years and love helping students excel in reading, comprehension, and math.

Specialized tutoring can change your child’s educational journey and life. Trust me! It happened to my brother.

I’m passionate about giving your child the personalized tutoring that changed my brother’s educational journey and life (yes, it changed his future and what he can achieve)!

When my brother was in kindergarten, he started struggling. My mom waited, hoping his learning would improve, but it only got worse. Then, she sought help from his teachers; however, they weren’t equipped to support his learning needs. Frustrated by the lack of support and resources, she spent years searching for answers, feeling helpless and unsure where to turn.

If you’re worried about your child’s future and wondering if you’ll ever find the right help, I understand.

I’ve been there, too, watching my brother struggle and waiting for a breakthrough.

Finally, a BREAKTHROUGH!

The breakthrough happened when Mom finally found highly skilled and caring educators to help him. They identified and understood his strengths and weaknesses and knew how to help him learn and succeed. They were experienced teachers, but more than that, he knew they cared about his academic success.

After years of struggling, he started to thrive in school—not just for a year, but for the rest of his time as a student and now as an adult.

He is now a board-certified ENT surgeon, a senior lecturer, and the head of the department at the university where he works.

Here’s what I know for sure.

Your child is smart and can succeed in school even if 

  • they’ve repeatedly struggled
  • they have a specific learning disability (SLD), dyslexia, ADHD, autism, or dyscalculia.

They need tutoring backed by a proven methodology. And that’s what they’ll get at Spark.

Let’s work together to make your child’s future brighter!
