Reading Instruction That Builds Skills, Confidence, and Independence
Learning to read shouldn’t feel overwhelming.
At New Agenda, our Orton-Gillingham (OG) services provide individualized, evidence-based reading intervention designed for students with dyslexia, reading disabilities, and other language-based learning differences. Our instruction is systematic, explicit, and tailored to each learner’s unique profile.
A Research-Based Approach to Reading Success
The Orton-Gillingham approach aligns with decades of scientific research on how children learn to read and reflects many of the instructional principles identified in the Science of Reading.
Research consistently demonstrates that students with dyslexia and other reading disabilities benefit from:
- Explicit phonics instruction
- Structured literacy approaches
- Systematic progression of skills
- Frequent review and cumulative practice
- Immediate corrective feedback
- Individualized instruction based on student performance
These evidence-based instructional practices help students develop stronger decoding, spelling, word recognition, reading fluency, and comprehension skills while increasing confidence in academic settings.
At New Agenda, every instructional decision is grounded in current research and data-driven progress monitoring.

How We Help
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Orton-Gillingham only for students with dyslexia?
No. While Orton-Gillingham was originally developed for individuals with dyslexia, its structured, explicit approach benefits many students who struggle with reading, spelling, written language, or foundational literacy skills.
Why combine Executive Function Coaching with reading intervention?
Learning requires more than decoding words. Students also need attention, organization, working memory, planning, and self-monitoring skills to fully benefit from instruction. Embedding executive function strategies during reading intervention helps students become more effective learners across all academic subjects.
Do you provide virtual services?
Yes. We offer both virtual and in-person services. Our virtual sessions remain highly interactive and allow students to receive individualized instruction from the comfort of home while using engaging digital learning tools.
