The method
What makes Orton-Gillingham different?
Orton-Gillingham does not leave reading to chance. It teaches sounds, patterns, and rules directly, builds on what a child already knows, and uses multiple senses so learning sticks.
Explicit and sequential
Skills are taught in a deliberate order, each one building securely on the last.
Diagnostic
Lessons respond to your child in real time, reteaching and advancing based on what they show us.
Multisensory
Visual, auditory, and hands-on practice work together to strengthen memory and recall.
Taught by a Certified Specialist
Instruction comes from an IMSE Certified Specialist, not a boxed curriculum.

Orton-Gillingham questions
What is the Orton-Gillingham approach?
Orton-Gillingham is an explicit, structured, and multisensory way of teaching reading and spelling. It presents language in a logical sequence and is widely used to help students with dyslexia.
Is your tutor Orton-Gillingham certified?
Yes. Lori Mikulka is IMSE Orton-Gillingham Certified and has also completed IMSE Morphology Plus, so instruction comes from a Certified Specialist, never a program alone.
Who benefits from Orton-Gillingham tutoring?
Struggling and hesitant readers, students with dyslexia, and homeschool families all benefit. The approach helps any child who needs reading to be taught clearly and systematically.
Are lessons available online?
Yes. We offer live 1-on-1 Orton-Gillingham sessions online for families anywhere.
How long does a child typically need Orton-Gillingham intervention?
Because instruction is diagnostic and tailored to your child's exact pace, timelines vary. Most students participate in tutoring for 1 to 2 years to achieve lasting, grade-level reading independence and to close foundational gaps.
What is Morphology, and why does it matter alongside OG?
Morphology is the study of word parts, prefixes, suffixes, and base roots. Advanced training in IMSE Morphology Plus lets us help older or developing readers decode multi-syllabic vocabulary, boosting spelling accuracy and comprehension as text complexity increases.
