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.

With Orton-Gillingham reading tutoring and intervention for dyslexia, your child can become skilled in reading and spelling and achieve academic success even if they’ve struggled for years.

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 more interactive, we use multisensory tools such as 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!”

The Right Kind of Tutoring Can Change Everything for Your Child

I’m Sylvia Hodges, founder and Learning Specialist at Progressive Tutoring – Spark Thinking. I’m a teacher with over 28 years of experience, and my mission is to give children access to the kind of personalized, targeted support that changed my brother’s life.

When my brother was in kindergarten, he began struggling in school. At first, my mom hoped he would catch up—but instead, his challenges grew. She turned to his teachers for help, but they didn’t know how to support him. Frustrated by the lack of resources, she spent years searching for answers and the right support before it was too late.

Everything changed when we finally found experienced specialists who identified the root cause of his struggles. They understood both his strengths and his challenges—and, most importantly, how to teach him in a way that made learning stick.

After years of frustration, my brother began to thrive—not just temporarily, but consistently.

Today, he is a board-certified ENT surgeon and medical school professor.

That’s why I do this work—so families can find answers sooner, and children can gain the skills and confidence they need to truly thrive.
