Intensive Reading Support.

Is Your Child Struggling With Reading?

Personalized Reading Intervention for elementary students: A Structured, Research-Based Approach

Intensive, individualized tier three reading intervention support grounded in the Orton-Gillingham method and other evidence-based programs. All sessions are systematic, multisensory, and designed to meet students exactly where they are—whether they need foundational skills or advanced support.

Kindergarten to Grade 2

A structured, research-backed approach for early reading intervention, combining Orton-Gillingham with additional evidence-based strategies to help early learners build strong literacy foundations. Instruction is strategic, systematic, and paced to mastery—ensuring students move beyond grade-level expectations with confidence.

Grade 3 and Up

Older students receive Intensive Reading Support Sessions that target the core components of reading using programs such as Orton-Gillingham and Structured Word Inquiry. Sessions are tailored to each student's profile, making them especially effective for those who:

  • Have been recommended for intensive intervention following a Psychoeducational Assessment

  • Have not responded to standard classroom instruction

  • Require a more individualized, in-depth approach

Program Details

  • All sessions follow Orton-Gillingham principles

  • Lessons build progressively, with ongoing reinforcement

  • 2–3 sessions per week recommended

  • Minimum 3-month commitment

  • Includes written progress reports every 3 months

  • Led by a Certified Ontario Teacher

Instructional Approach

Diagnostic & Prescriptive

Every new student begins with a comprehensive reading assessment to identify their unique strengths, challenges, and areas for intervention. Instruction is highly individualized, and progress is continuously monitored and adjusted to meet the learner’s evolving needs.

Multisensory & Engaging

Lessons are grounded in Orton-Gillingham principles, using visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile pathways to reinforce concepts. This multisensory approach enhances memory, deepens understanding, and keeps students actively engaged.

Systematic & Predictable Phonics Instruction

Students are explicitly taught the sound-symbol relationships and consistent spelling patterns that govern the English language. This systematic approach helps make reading and spelling more predictable, supporting students in becoming more confident, independent readers.

Structured, Sequential, & Cumulative

Skills are introduced in a clear, step-by-step sequence, moving from simple to more complex. Each session includes explicit instruction, guided practice, and ongoing review, ensuring that students retain what they’ve learned and build upon it with confidence.

Assessment

Every reading intervention begins with a comprehensive 45–60 minute assessment to identify the student’s current abilities and areas needing support. This initial session lays the groundwork for a personalized intervention plan tailored to the student's unique learning profile.

Following the session, you’ll receive a detailed written report outlining:

  • Specific reading challenges

  • Data-driven recommendations for interventions and accommodations

  • Suggested strategies for advocacy within school settings

  • An overview of the student’s current literacy skills

  • A personalized intervention plan

Assessment tools may include:

  1. CORE Phonics Survey – to assess decoding and phonics skills

  2. Phonological Awareness Screening Test (PAST 2) – to evaluate sound awareness

  3. Alphabet Writing Task / Grapheme Mapping – to assess letter-sound knowledge and encoding

  4. DIBELS – to measure fluency, accuracy, and foundational reading skills

Assessment tools may vary based on information gathered during the initial consultation and the student’s age, grade, or learning history.

Assessment

The assessment session is a 45–60 minute one-on-one evaluation designed to identify a student’s current reading strengths and challenges. Using a variety of evidence-based tools, it gathers key data to inform a personalized intervention plan. Following the session, families receive a detailed report with tailored recommendations, instructional next steps, and support strategies for school advocacy.

K-2 Intensive Reading Intervention sessions

For younger learners in Kindergarten to Grade 2, attention spans and cognitive stamina are still developing. A 40-minute session strikes the right balance—long enough to deliver effective, structured instruction without overwhelming the child.

2–3 sessions per week are recommended—to ensure early reading intervention concepts are practiced regularly, without cognitive overload, giving students the best chance to develop strong, lasting reading foundations.

$80

Grade 3+ Intensive Reading Intervention sessions

For students in Grade 3 and above, reading challenges often stem from more complex and varied gaps in foundational skills. These learners benefit from longer, more in-depth sessions—typically 50 to 60 minutes—to thoroughly address specific areas of difficulty.

Older students require instruction that is highly tailored to their unique profiles, targeting gaps in decoding, fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary. The extended time allows for deeper exploration, practice, and application of strategies, as well as time to build confidence and independence.
