Online Orton-Gillingham Reading, Phonics and Spelling
Instruction for Parents Who Homeschool
Our online phonics and reading program is ideal for homeschool instruction. Homeschooling parents can now offer Orton-Gillingham reading, phonics, and spelling instruction to their children from third grade and up for a tiny fraction of the amount it would cost to obtain this instruction through a private school or an individual tutor.
The cost to send a student to a private Orton-Gillingham school is on average anywhere from fifteen to twenty-five thousand dollars per school year. A forty-five-minute tutoring session with an Orton-Gillingham-trained instructor costs on average $50 with a two-session minimum per week recommended. Our online program costs $9.99 per month or $99.99 for an entire year of access to our phonics lessons.
Our online phonics and spelling program is extremely effective with students with dyslexia and other learning disabilities because instruction is systematic, sequential and comprehensive. Our online license provides parents access to a complete Orton-Gillingham-based phonics and spelling program - no additional purchase of any kind is necessary. Our online license includes the following elements.
1. 644 lessons that combine audio, video, and text - all lessons are printable!

4. Over 400 consumable worksheets
5. Forty plus hours of video content
6. More than 115 hours of audio content

Feedback from Homeschool Parents and Tutors
"We homeschool my 10-year old dyslexic daughter and your program has been very helpful. We are making slow but steady progress! Thank you for your easy to use format and printable materials. We have recommended your program to many other homeschool families who have struggling readers.
So many reading programs do not address the specific needs of dyslexics. We All Can Read allows parents who understand the unique needs of dyslexics to give appropriate intervention without the prohibitive cost of private tutoring."
"I found your online program while looking specifically for ways to help Adam (who just turned 11), who finds spelling very difficult and reading new words (‘decoding’, I guess) equally tough.
My sister, who lives in the US, has just completed her Masters in Special Education. About a year ago when I was visiting her (I live in Britain) I was asking lots of questions about my concerns with Adam and she was a big help in narrowing down what might be the problem. At that time she had told me about the Orton-Gillingham method. So when I was searching online for programs I could do with Adam (we just started homeschooling both my boys in Dec, so over the last 6 months I’ve done lots of searching online for all kinds of things!!), your site must have come up in some sort of search I did, and when I saw the ‘Orton-Gillingham’, it reminded me of what my sister had said, and I jumped on it. And then when I saw I could also afford it and it could be done online, I figured this was definitely what I was looking for. I was so excited I called my sister and told her about you, too.
So over the last month or so, Adam has been working his way through the lessons. I was glad that he found all the consonants lessons easy—it gave him a good experience right away while getting used to the new program. Now that I see how much practice he has needed just learning these first two short vowels, I realize how amazing he’s done to read and spell as well as he does—nothing seems intuitive at all to him. But now he is really excited because already he can see the difference. In fact, just tonight he was trying to spell ‘music’. He had written ‘mucic’ and then ‘mucisc’ and knew they weren’t right, but was struggling to figure out where he was going wrong. (I saw from this that the poor guy just tries to memorize the spelling of every single word he has ever seen, since he has hardly any ‘rules’ to guide him). I told him the ‘mu’ was right and to listen for what the next sound in the word was. And right then a light bulb went off! He said, “Oh! It is /z/ so it must be either an ‘s’ or a ‘z’ and I’m pretty sure it isn’t a ‘z’).” Yea!!!
Thanks again for your help and encouragement, and most of all for this great program for Adam!"

Hi Mr. Williams,
Just to let you know I stumbled upon your K-2 book at the Public Library in Stone Mountain. I used it for only three weeks with a nine year old who spoke English fluently as a secondary language from his primary Vietnamese language. He is in third grade and was not reading at all and did not understand how to recognize letters on a page. It has been a challenge to teach him as he is not motivated to do much work, but your program made it very clear and easy. I thought he may have dyslexia since his vocabulary was so extensive compared to his lack of recognition of letters and words. He stayed away from the program for the next four weeks reluctant to learn at my rigor and demand. But he came back to me within a month, reading all of the three-letter words with the short sound of "a" and "e."
Your program works! Now, he can read "Go Dog, Go!" by Dr. Seus. I will be using these books to teach an adult non-reader and students at Grove Park Elementary in Southwest Atlanta.
Thanks for your labor of love. I will enjoy telling others about your program. |
