Tutoring
Dyslexia Solutions of Colorado offers one-on-one tutoring tailored to your child’s specific needs. We work with individuals ages 5-adult and meet 2 or more times a week. Our tutors are available to meet with your child virtually and in-person.
We use two highly effective, research-based methods: Evidence-Based Literacy Instruction (EBLI) and the Orton-Gillingham approach. Our in-person tutors teach using EBLI, while our remote tutors use the Orton-Gillingham approach.
Both methods are multisensory, engaging the four primary learning pathways to the brain to help students build strong reading and spelling skills.
We start working with each child at their individual level so it is easy for them. Each lesson builds upon what they have already learned. This allows children to feel comfortable as they learn more difficult words, syllable types, sounds and spelling patterns.
You will begin to notice changes such as:
- Improved spelling
- Increased willingness to read aloud
- Better handwriting
- Improvement in grades
- Fewer behavior problems in school and at home
- Rising self-confidence
- Actual excitement about going to school
In a typical tutoring session your child will:
- Build phoneme awareness by learning to hear and identify the individual sounds in words.
- Connect sounds to letters through sound-to-letter mapping, strengthening reading and spelling skills.
- Practice guided reading using strategies that support accurate decoding and comprehension.
- Develop spelling skills by applying sound patterns and spelling rules.
- Expand vocabulary by learning and discussing new words in context.
- Improve reading fluency through structured practice that builds confidence and smoother reading.
- Review and reinforce skills so previously learned concepts become automatic and lasting.
