The Orton-Gillingham Method works!
Training you, one trick at a time, to help others learn to read.
Multi-sensory reading instruction for struggling readers, dyslexic learners, and the parents and teachers who refuse to give up. Courses, tutoring, and teacher training — all built on the Orton-Gillingham approach.
Our method
Why this works when other approaches haven't
Orton-Gillingham is the gold standard for teaching reading to learners who struggle with traditional methods. Here's what makes it different
Multi-sensory
Visual, auditory, kinesthetic — engaging the senses that traditional phonics misses, so the lesson lands and stays.
Structured
A clear, explicit scope and sequence — concepts introduced in a deliberate order, with nothing left to chance.
Sequential & cumulative
Every well planned lesson builds on the last. We never skip a step that could become a struggle later.
Diagnostic & prescriptive
We meet learners exactly where they are — not where the curriculum says they should be.
For the families who've tried everything
The hardest part isn't reading. It's finding someone who still believes it's possible.
We work with learners other programs have given up on. Kids who were told they'd never read at grade level. Teens who learned to hide. Adults who quietly carried the secret for decades. The method is the same; we just refuse to give up on the learner.
“When my son was in the 8th grade his GPA was low and his terrible attitude about school was high. I finally took him to a specialist and was devastated when the specialist informed me that my son had dyslexia and would function best if the basics of the English language / Phonetics were reintroduced. Living in a rural town in Virginia, I was discouraged, never dreaming that I could find a school or someone who specialized in the Orton Gillingham approach to Language Arts.
The team at Reading Tricks was the answer! My son now knows he is not “stupid”; rather, he just learns differently than others. His self-esteem and attitude have improved, and he now has a 3.4 GPA in high school!”
