Application for RISE (Orton Gillingham Reading) Program

To apply for this LDAO-C program please fully complete form below. This information will be kept strictly confidential, and will only be shared with our staff and program facilitators/volunteers.
RISE is our in-house scientifically backed Orton Gillingham Reading Program. Orton Gillingham is the gold standard for remediation reading disabilities. Our program is multi-sensory and rule based and builds on skills to help children learn to decode and blend. It also focuses on common spelling rules, taught in an approved OG method. The program also adds in fun reading games and online activities.

Although a few weeks will not close the reading gap and bring children to grade level, it will provide the basic skills needed to tackle reading and understand some of the spelling rules.

Students will be matched with a trained tutor and meet for individual tutoring once or twice a week for a total of 10 sessions. Sessions are 60 minutes in length and take place either in person at our location or online.

Dates and Times: various, to be arranged between tutor and student

Location: In-person at our new LDAO-C Learning Centre (1547 Merivale Road, Suite 450) or online, to be arranged between tutor and student

Skill Development and Practice Areas: phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension
