Self
Confidence
Children with dyslexia struggle with low self
esteem. Orton Gillingham method of teaching helps them gain the confidence they
would need in life. This is important and helps them later in their lives.

sensitize different parts of the brain. So when a child is exposed with
different modalities like visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. This engages them
in language and is not limited to learning and remembering words. Memorizing
makes use of just one part of the brain whereas when different parts are
engaged a child understands and learns things more appropriately and for a long
time.
Executive
Functioning
Organization, self awareness, and taking
responsibility is what Orton Gillingham method instills in children. You will
but agree that these are highly essential skills for a child.
The method ensures students are motivated to do
such activities every day and simultaneously do their tasks and stay organized.

sheet. They are allowed to take the sheet home and mark it when home work is
complete. When something remains unfinished, they are held responsible for it.
Repetition
This is important and a key to remembering things.
The Orton Gillingham method of tutoring involves work that includes manners
that work best for a child to remember things for a long time.
