Find out why our summer program is so popular!
If your child has been struggling to succeed with basic literacy skills, with or without a diagnosed learning difficulty, we may be able to help them and avoid the "big slide" that occurs with the long summer vacation from school or extended absence or reduction from academic learning. Our Reach Orton-Gillingham Practitioner (OGP) specialists understand learning difficulties and students who struggle with learning in general. Registration for summer lessons is all on-line; simply choose the weeks (Monday to Friday) and the times that work in your family's schedule.
Our One-on-One OG Language lessons during the summer weeks will be tailored to your child's specific needs with phonemic awareness, sound/symbol relationships, spelling, writing/composition skills, penmanship skills, decoding/reading, building reading fluency, reading comprehension or other literacy skills. We don’t follow a program; lessons are created specifically for the needs of your child.
If your child is new to REACH, please be prepared to send us assessments or other documentation so we understand your child's gaps in learning and can best utilize the lesson time when they are with us during the summer. We may suggest a face-to-face meeting prior to beginning our summer programs to ensure a good fit. If your child has already been registered with REACH in the previous school term, we will continue with their one-on-one intervention plan as already developed at REACH. We do our best to match our students with our amazing OGPs they have seen in the past, session times are extremely limited and we cannot guarantee placement with a particular REACH teacher/OGP.
A note about third party billing: While we do accept AFU directed funding for our current REACH students and families who participate in school term lessons, our summer program requires online registration and payment with a credit card at time of registration. Unfortunately, we do not accept RTP forms (Request to Pay) for students who are not currently enrolled with REACH in 2024/2025 with an approved billing number.
