Unlocking Literacy Success: How Structured, Online Orton-Gillingham Tutoring Transforms Struggling Readers

Why So Many Kids Struggle with Reading—And Why It’s Not Their Fault

If your child is struggling with reading and writing, you're not alone. Reading difficulties affect 1 in 5 children—and many go undiagnosed for years. These kids often feel frustrated, discouraged, and anxious. But here's the truth: reading struggles are not a result of low intelligence or laziness. In most cases, children haven’t been taught to read in a way that matches how their brains are wired to learn.

At Reading and the Squid Tutoring, we specialize in helping children with dyslexia, reading disabilities, and writing challenges using the Orton-Gillingham method—a gold standard in evidence-based instruction. Our signature program, The Confident Reader Blueprint, is changing lives through targeted, structured literacy support that’s both fun and effective.

What Is the Orton-Gillingham Approach?

Orton-Gillingham is a structured, multisensory, and science-backed method that helps struggling readers master foundational literacy skills. It’s not a one-size-fits-all solution—it's a personalized, diagnostic, and prescriptive method proven to work for students with dyslexia and other reading disabilities.

Core Benefits of Orton-Gillingham Tutoring:

• Builds phonemic awareness, decoding, and spelling skills
• Uses multisensory activities to reinforce learning
• Adapts to each student’s pace and needs
• Supports long-term reading fluency and comprehension
• Empowers kids to regain confidence in learning

Whether your child is just starting to fall behind or has been struggling for years, this method works—especially when delivered in a nurturing, one-on-one environment.

Why Online Tutoring Is Just as Powerful—And Even More Convenient

We offer online Orton-Gillingham tutoring to families across the U.S. through secure, interactive virtual sessions. Many parents worry that online learning won’t be effective—but in reality, kids thrive when instruction is clear, engaging, and tailored to their learning style.

Our certified dyslexia specialists use virtual tools to:

• Deliver real-time feedback
• Share manipulatives and phonics games
• Track progress through data-driven benchmarks
• Maintain flexibility for busy families

No more rushing to tutoring centers—our online tutoring platform brings high-impact literacy intervention straight to your living room.
