The Orton-Gilingham Reading Program
The Orton-Gillingham Reading Program
The Orton-Gillingham reading program has been an integral part of reading instruction since 1987. Instruction is immediate, intensive and continuous interaction between the teacher and what the student sees, hears and feels. The language elements are taught, and then reinforced as the student listens, speaks, reads and writes. Students receive intensive, sequential phonics based instruction from a credentialed reading teacher, who has completed the Orton-Gillingham training, along with computer based instruction to reinforce skills. Students struggling with reading in Grades 1-5 will benefit most from this program.

PACE - Processing and Cognitive Enhancement
Does Your Child Struggle?
Is your child having problems in school? Does he/she have difficulty listening, following directions, or doing homework? He/she may fight frustration every day and may even have been called lazy, unmotivated or a "student at risk..."
If this has been said about your child, the real problem may not be a lack of motivation or proper instruction. Rather, he/she may lack sufficient processing skills. In other words, your child may be able to see or hear information, but cannot identify, interpret, comprehend, remember, or stay on task.
If you have a struggling student in your family, call us. The expertise of skilled professionals is required to identify and treat learning difficulties such as these. Our Processing and Cognitive Enhancement (PACE) program and the PACE Summer Intensive program are an intense, proven training method that strengthens underlying cognitive skills. We train the entire learning system to function properly as it should.
Could Your Child Be At Risk?
PACE can identify and successfully treat learning problems that are often reflected in the following behaviors:
- Is unable to sit still; cannot stay on task for any length of time. Is easily distracted
- Avoids work that seems complicated or hard.
- Has difficulty comprehending and remembering.
- Has problems sounding out words.
- Does written work very slowly; often fails to complete a task.
- Has difficulty copying material; constantly looks up and down.
- Often needs instructions repeated.
- Has troubles reading and spelling.
- Makes reversals for example: confusing the words "was" and "saw" or the letters "b" and "d."
- Is disorganized and frustrated when studying.
- Makes frequent, "careless" errors.
PACE May Be The Very Answer You Seek
If your child exhibits one or more of these behaviors, call today to schedule a screening to evaluate your child's cognitive processing skills. It could be the most important phone call you will make during his or her school years.
WHAT IS THE PACE STRATEGY?
First, an evaluation helps us determine if there are deficiencies in a child's processing skills. If a problem exists, a training program will be developed to meet that child's individual needs. Once enrolled in PACE, a child will work on specific goals with a professional trainer who will conduct carefully sequenced activities to strengthen weak areas in order to bring the learning system up to par. The training is designed to achieve maximum results in the shortest period of time.
 PACE Develops
· Attention
· Auditory Processing
Comprehension
· Logic & Reasoning Memory
· Planning
· Processing Speed Visual
Processing
THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW!
If your child is between the ages of six and 19, call us today to set up an appointment for a screening. Any uncorrected learning problems can have long-term consequences. When diagnosed early, PACE can significantly improve and often alleviate the problem entirely.
Can you afford to pass up this opportunity to help your child? Call The Learning Edge today.
