"My daughter has jumped up several reading levels with Kate. She has confidence, is learning to work through her frustrations, and even reads recreationally now. I'm so glad we found her!"

At Desert Scholar Reading Enrichment, we will help your child uncover their potential as a reader by teaching them in a way that is compatible with their learning style. We use the Lexercise curriculum which is an Orton-Gillingham based Structured Literacy Therapy program. This approach is individualized and engaging. It is multisensory and uses explicit instruction and hands-on activities to teach literacy in a way that helps children build connections and increases retention. 

So many parents feel confused about why their child is struggling…perhaps the child can’t remember what they have already learned and has low retention of common words and letter sounds. They may seem to guess at words, because they don't know how to decode or sound them out. Or, it may be the younger child who simply can’t master their letter sounds and isn’t able to blend simple 3 letter words, although their peers are doing so easily. Symptoms like these can be daunting, confusing, and downright frustrating for parents and the child. Feelings of defeat and inadequacy can cause major reading avoidance and even meltdowns, anger or low self-esteem for kids experiencing ongoing difficulties. It’s painful as parents to watch our children struggle with anything, but especially something like reading which is essential to their academic success and ability to function in our world. 

The good news is that with research-based intervention, these children can learn to read and achieve greater success in the classroom. Call today to learn more about our Orton-Gillingham based program.
