Lawrence School’s Orton-Gillingham based instructional approach looks a lot like play. Peek into our classrooms and you’ll see students writing in shaving cream, sculpting sight words with modeling clay, bouncing balls as they skip count, and, most importantly, smiling and laughing! But don’t be fooled by all the fun—these engaging multisensory activities lead to serious gains in literacy and mathematics. This summer, we invite your child to leap ahead with Lions Leap!

Description
Give your child’s reading and writing skills a huge boost this summer and send them into the school year confident and ready to learn. What I provide isn’t a traditional one-size-fits all learning experience or just “tutoring”. It is a bespoke learning program specifically tailored to the needs, abilities and learning style of the child. I include my own initial findings after our first one or two meetings along with my plan of instruction. I have found that this type of focused, individual child-centered learning yields tremendous results.

Many of my students have varying degrees of dyslexia and benefit tremendously from the phonics based, science of reading approach.
