Effective Teaching Method Helps Another Struggling Reader
North Salt Lake, UT, November 18, 2009 --(PR.com)-- The Reading Horizons program has helped another parent, Tracy Keith, to find the solution for helping her son with his reading difficulties. This program’s success is founded on an Orton-Gillingham teaching method. The Orton-Gillingham approach to teaching reading is a language-based, multi-sensory, structured approach that teaches the basics of word formation before introducing the whole meanings of words. The Orton-Gillingham method utilizes the three learning styles through which people learn: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic.
Tracy’s nine-year-old son attended public school, where he excelled in almost every subject but one: reading. It became evident that Tracy’s son suffered from dyslexia, the reason for his reading difficulties. As her son began to withdraw and to dread school, Tracy decided she needed to take a proactive approach in helping her son with this problem. She moved him to a charter school where he would receive more one-on-one assistance from his teachers. However, he still showed little progress. After a rigorous Internet search, Tracy discovered Reading Horizons, an intensive phonics program. Through her research, she knew this program was the right one for her son because it was based on the Orton-Gillingham method and systematic approach – the same elements she had read were the most effective for teaching reading. Her son showed fast improvement. In just one month, her son improved a whole grade level and was reading almost three times faster than before. Not only was his reading improving, but he was having fun. He often wanted to complete extra lessons and voluntarily played the learning games, even when it wasn’t required.
To further educate parents like Tracy about this effective teaching method, Reading Horizons has composed a Web page dedicated to providing resources on the Orton-Gillingham method. The Web page contains explanations, research, and video about the Orton-Gillingham approach to teaching reading. This Web page can be found at: http://www.readinghorizonsathome.com/orton-gillingham.aspx.
Not only is this method effective for teaching those with dyslexia how to read but also in helping anyone who struggles with reading in general, including ESL students. Another parent, Shantell, had this to say about the program: “The thing that I like most about the Reading Horizons program is that it appeals to all types of learning styles. This was crucial in helping my son learn to read.”
