Are these familiar? Is your child struggling or diagnosed with dyslexia? RITES can help. We’re literacy specialists who use a multisensory approach and tailor each lesson to your student’s needs for lifelong success.

RITES specializes in 1-to-1 Orton-Gillingham and Wilson Tutoring. RITES offers personalized Orton-Gillingham tutoring during the school year and in summer for all ages, K through 12 and adult.

Orton-Gillingham

In addition, we offer small group classes in the summer for students in grades 2-6. Our Code Breakers summer program includes intensive Orton-Gillingham classes.  While in the program, students also participate in guided reading lessons to work on comprehension and to engage in a variety of activities that promote reading fluency. Click here for information about group classes in the summer.Practicing spelling with shaving cream

What is Orton-Gillingham?

It is a multisensory structured language program, which is an alternative, structured method for students of all ages who have difficulty with reading, writing, and spelling.  This program is appropriate for dyslexic students and for those with memory, reading, and language difficulties.

RITES certified literacy teachers are trained and have expertise in the Orton-Gillingham and/or Wilson method. Recent scientific research has proven this method improves the skills of dyslexic students and of students who experience difficulty with spelling, writing, and reading fluency.

In addition to Orton-Gillingham, these specialists also have experience and training in other multisensory methods such as Wilson®, Telian®, Lindamood-Bell®, and Project Read®. Your student – whether in kindergarten or high school or adult – is given an Orton-Gillingham placement test to determine the starting point.  Along the way, we use the student’s current knowledge to inform our lesson planning. Individual Orton-Gillingham tutoring is available all year round.

Lexia Core5

Our families have access to RITES’ license for Lexia Core5, a supplemental literacy software program that is based on Orton-Gillingham. RITES certified teachers train the student/family on how to use the program, so they can access it through the Internet and use it at home between sessions in order to further progress. This program’s peer-reviewed research has proven that Lexia Core5 effectively increases reading proficiency and closes the reading gap.

Testimonial

Changed My Son’s Life
My son has dyslexia, attended the RITES summer program and has been receiving instruction from a RITES tutor for nearly 2 years. He has made remarkable progress and were it not for RITES and the support he has received, he would not be the confident learner that he is today. His tutor is Orton-Gillingham trained and modifies the curriculum to suit his academic needs. Halley and Lisa are always available to answer any questions or concerns I may have as a parent. They offer suggestions and lend a listening ear when the weight of having a child with a learning disability gets to be overwhelming. RITES provides free parent educational seminars/workshops which is a tremendous resource when one is trying to navigate the world of evaluations, IEP’s, 504′s,etc. I cannot say enough about the level of knowledge and professionalism that is at the heart of RITES program.
