SPEECH AND ORTON GILLINGHAM LITERACY CLINIC

Where Speech-Language Pathology Powers Literacy Success

Sea of Sounds Reading Intervention Clinics go beyond traditional tutoring. Our programs integrate speech-language pathology expertise, Orton-Gillingham instruction, and the Science of Reading to address both literacy skills and the underlying language foundations essential for reading success.

Through explicit, systematic, and multisensory instruction, students develop stronger skills in reading, spelling, writing, comprehension, and oral language—while building confidence that extends beyond the classroom.

Step 1: Register and Complete a Complimentary Assessment

After registration, each child receives a complimentary placement assessment. This allows our team to determine the most appropriate instructional level, identify individual needs, and establish targeted goals.

We evaluate more than reading accuracy. Areas may include:

✔ Letter-sound knowledge
✔ Phonological and phonemic awareness
✔ Decoding and word recognition
✔ Encoding and spelling
✔ Reading fluency and comprehension
✔ Oral language and vocabulary
✔ Listening comprehension
✔ Speech sound production, when appropriate
✔ Underlying language skills that may affect literacy

Because language and literacy are deeply connected, our speech-language pathology expertise helps us recognize needs that traditional reading programs may overlook.

Small Groups. Individualized Attention.

Every clinic is intentionally limited to six students or fewer. This allows our team to provide responsive, diagnostic instruction while preserving the structure, pacing, and integrity of the Orton-Gillingham approach.

Students are grouped by instructional level—not simply by age or grade—to ensure that teaching begins at the right point and builds from a strong foundation.

Why School-Year Commitment Matters

Learning to read requires consistency. Our clinics follow a systematic, sequential, and cumulative scope and sequence in which every new skill builds upon previously mastered concepts.

Students progress from foundational letter-sound relationships to blending, digraphs, blends, vowel patterns, multisyllabic words, morphology, advanced decoding, fluency, and comprehension.

Consistent attendance protects that progression. A school-year commitment gives students the time, repetition, and continuity needed to achieve meaningful, lasting growth.

Reading intervention is a process—not a quick fix.

Progress You Can See

Families deserve clear information about their child’s growth. Students receive:

📊 A mid-year progress assessment
📊 An end-of-year progress assessment

Results help us measure growth, celebrate accomplishments, refine instruction, and provide families with meaningful feedback.

A Collaborative Partnership

Parent communication is central to our program. Throughout the year, families receive updates about:

• Skills and concepts being taught
• Individual progress and areas of need
• Recommended practice and reinforcement
• Adjustments to instructional goals
• Opportunities to collaborate with our team

When families and clinicians work together, children receive consistent support across the clinic, home, and school environments.

Our Mission

Our mission is to develop confident, capable readers by supporting the whole child—not only reading performance, but the speech, language, spelling, writing, and learning skills that make literacy possible.
