Students in grades 1st–5th receive daily, individualized instruction in The Learning Lab's reading, writing, and math programs within a 1:1 student-to-faculty ratio in reading and 3:1 in math and writing.
Rooted in an Orton-Gillingham–based, systematic, multisensory approach, The Learning Lab's methodology strengthens foundational skills through direct instruction, high levels of engagement, and frequent review as students progress toward mastery.
Instruction is enhanced through hands-on manipulatives, positive peer collaboration, thoughtfully integrated technology, and flexible pacing. Throughout the year, students participate in events and activities designed to support social-emotional growth and the development of executive functioning skills.
The Approach
The Approach
The Orton-Gillingham Approach is a direct, explicit, multisensory, structured, sequential, diagnostic, and prescriptive way to teach literacy to individuals for whom reading, writing, and spelling are challenging, such as those with dyslexia. It is best understood and applied as an approach rather than a method, program, or system. In the hands of a skilled and experienced instructor, Orton-Gillingham becomes a highly effective and flexible tool, offering remarkable depth and breadth in supporting students’ learning.
