LITERACY AND DYSLEXIA SERVICES
Up to 3:1 literacy sessions; exclusive 1:1 support for dyslexia intervention
Service Description
At Excelsior, literacy support and dyslexia intervention are central to our mission. Despite concerning findings from the National Center for Education Statistics' National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), which show a decline in reading performance nationwide, we apply the science of reading to respond proactively and positively. Our literacy instruction is grounded in the Orton-Gillingham approach, utilizing direct, explicit, multi-sensory, structured, and sequential methods. Most importantly, we foster a learning environment that builds students' confidence and self-esteem. This evidence-based, prescriptive approach is the most effective method for teaching reading, especially for those struggling with dyslexia.
