Blosser Center instruction offers a superior value.
- Students receive individualized instruction, not workbook assignments.
- Tuition is $45 per session.
- We use the Orton-Gillingham approach, the gold standard of teaching literacy skills to struggling students.
- The Orton-Gillingham approach has been validated by scientific research.
- It has brought success to students for over 75 years in clinics and schools around the world.
Why is The Orton-Gillingham Approach effective?
- The Orton-Gillingham approach is multisensory, using the visual, auditory and kinesthetic neural pathways simultaneously. Reading and spelling are taught together.
- It is sequential, building from basic to complex elements.
- Blosser Center Educational Therapists are highly skilled and supervised by Fellows of the Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators.
- Standardized testing is used to show student progress.
How do I know this would fit my child's needs?
