Welcome to Future Skill Academy
mY approach to Early Literacy: I use the Orton-Gillingham (OG) Method for K-5 reading intervention
OG Reading Intervention is:
➤ Systematic in Scope and Sequence
➤ Direct and Explicit
➤ Multisensory: Auditory, Visual, & Kinesthetic
➤ Cummulative with Interleaved Review
➤ Data-Driven (Assessment & regular Progress Monitoring)
OG is a methodology or way of teaching reading that helps children with language-based learning differences such as dyslexia. OG best serves Tier 2 & Tier 3 students. If your child is already receiving pullout services at your school, he/she is a good candidate for OG instruction. You do NOT need a formal diagnosis of a Specific Learning Disability (SLD) to benefit from OG instruction.

I am a K-5 reading interventionist and certified OG Practitioner, who is actively involved in the Seattle dyslexia community. I tutor privately, and for Hamlin Robinson School. I was trained by Carol Duke, former President of the International Dyslexia Association and current Managing Director of Mayerson Academy (now Hamilton County). My certification is both IDA (International Dyslexia Association) and IMSLEC (International Multisensory Structured Language Education Council) accredited. The rigorous coursework and 2 Practicums trained me well for Tier 2/3 OG instruction.
As a former research scientist, I was immediately drawn to the body of literature often referred to as the Science of Reading (SOR) when our son was diagnosed with a learning disability in 2nd grade. Now that I 'know better' I wants to 'do better', helping struggling students unlock their reading potential. I embrace American child psychologist Ross W Greene's philosophy that "kids do well if they can"....and firmly believe everyone deserves the right to read, especially children with language -based learning differences.
