Experts in Orton-Gillingham
Novel’s founders Robyn and Martha have more than 10 years of experience in practising Structured Literacy education. They are experts in the scientifically-proven strategies of Orton-Gillingham and have trained a team of literacy experts to effectively build the skills required for more proficient reading, writing, and spelling.
The remedial journey for children who need help with dyslexia or ADHD can take up to two years of consistent support. Our Online 1:1 Tutoring program is built on the extensive Novel Literacy Curriculum that takes the guesswork out of reading and provides students with fundamental tools that set them on a solid path towards remedial success.
Our Orton-Gillingham tutors are trained to create a positive educational environment that targets skill development and builds confident learners.
The pillars of our approach are evidence based and grounded in Structured Literacy.
Multi-sensory strategies
We offer students multi-sensory tools and strategies that help them process language using visual, auditory, and kinesthetic/tactile learning pathways, simultaneously. Students process learnings more effectively can retain concepts long-term.
Direct and explicit instruction
Orton-Gillingham has identified hundreds of patterns and consistencies in English, turning language into a math and science. We use direct and explicit instruction to teach these patterns and consistencies to our learners, and takes the guesswork out of learning how to read.
Child-centered learning
All our tutoring programs are tailored to each student’s specific learning needs. Our initial Orton-Gillingham based assessment identifies literacy gaps and leads to a customized learning plan that incorporates a student’s likes and interests as much as possible.
Basic to complex
After we know the foundational literacy gaps that the student is struggling with, our phonics tutors move from basic to complex material. We make sure that each learner is successful as they tackle new challenges so that they gain confidence in their ability to read and write.
