Why Orton-Gillingam?
At The Promise School in Charleston, we recognize that every student's learning journey is unique, especially when it comes to language-based learning differences. Our comprehensive approach to education incorporates the gold standard in dyslexia instruction: the Orton-Gillingham methodology.
Why We Choose the Orton-Gillingham Approach
The Orton-Gillingham (O-G) approach stands apart from traditional teaching methods, particularly for students with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences. Unlike standard curriculums, O-G is a flexible, scientifically-based instructional approach that adapts to each student's individual needs.
Our Specialized Language Arts Program
Our reading and English Language Arts program builds strong foundations through:
Comprehensive reading comprehension strategies
Systematic grammar instruction
Structured writing development
Multiple specialized curriculums aligned with state and national standards
How Does O-G Make a Difference?
What makes the O-G approach particularly effective for our students? It's:
Diagnostic and Prescriptive
We continuously assess student progress and adjust instruction accordingly, ensuring no student falls behind.
Individualized and Multisensory
Every lesson engages multiple senses - visual, auditory, and kinesthetic - making learning more effective and memorable.
Language-Based and Systematic
Our instruction follows a logical, structured sequence that builds upon previously mastered skills, making complex language concepts accessible to all learners.
Scientific Foundation
The Orton-Gillingham approach is rooted in the science of reading, making it the globally recognized gold standard for teaching students with dyslexia. This research-based methodology ensures that our Charleston students receive the most effective instruction available.
Beyond Traditional Teaching
Unlike standard reading programs, our O-G implementation is:
Direct and explicit
Structured yet flexible
Sequential and cumulative
Both synthetic and analytic in approach
Cognitively engaging
Emotionally supportive
