the ortOn-gillingham approach

Enriched uses a structured, science-based approach to teaching reading

 

The Orton-Gillingham approach teaches reading step by step, helping students build confidence through explicit, multisensory instruction. Designed to support all learners, including those who struggle in traditional classroom settings, this method develops lasting reading and spelling skills from the ground up.

  • Structured, sequential learning — Students begin with simple letter-sound relationships and gradually progress to blending, decoding, and more advanced reading skills.

  • Multisensory instruction — Lessons engage visual, auditory, and kinesthetic pathways to strengthen learning and retention.

  • Mastery before moving forward — New concepts are introduced only after previous skills are reviewed, reinforced, and confidently learned.

  • Reading beyond memorization — Students learn how to decode words and build lasting literacy skills, while also using strategies to master sight words and irregular spelling patterns.
