Real Change Begins in the Classroom
For decades, Orton-Gillingham has been a private advantage—most often found in private schools or through expensive tutoring. It can cost up to $5000 for a teacher to get certified on his/her own. Your partnership is helping remove those barriers, bringing this proven approach into public school classrooms where every child can benefit.

The Tide of Change: Literacy in the Lowcountry
A short documentary about what happens when teachers get the training they were never given.
The Tide of Change follows two Lowcountry families whose children struggled to read, and the Orton-Gillingham approach that changed their trajectory. It’s a close look at how the right training, in the hands of a teacher who already cared, can change a child’s whole relationship with reading.
Together, we’re building a future where a child’s ZIP code no longer determines whether they learn to read.
