Habermehl Reading
Online Orton-Gillingham tutoring for dyslexic kids, teens, and adults.
What do we do?
At Habermehl Reading, we teach reading, spelling, and writing to dyslexic kids, teens, and adults.
How do we do it?
We use an Orton-Gillingham method to reading instruction, which
is a structured literacy approach that has been helping
people learn to read for over 90 years. ​
This method isn't new...
we're just working to make
it accessible to everyone
through online tutoring.
​When dyslexic learners have enough skills to read and spell, we teach writing using an
an explicit, systematic, and incredibly structured method.
Prove it!

Steven
Steven started with us in grade 5. He was tested to read at a grade 1 level. He struggled with reading so much that he couldn't text his friends or mom.
​​​
​After 2 years of tutoring 2 times each week, Steven can now read and spell words like ADVENTUROUS, EXPENDITURES, and HYPHENATION, knowing how to add prefixes and suffixes like he has a Black Belt in spelling!

Laura
Laura started tutoring with us in the middle of grade 4. When she started, she identified herself as a non-reader.
​
After 18 months of tutoring 3 times per week, Laura can now read and spell words like FREQUENCY, VENDETTA, and ELEGANT, knowing which vowel to use even in unaccented syllables, and when a letter needs to be doubled.
Laura
Kelsey started tutoring with us 12 months ago. When she started she could not even read 3 letter words like SIT (she read as "sight") and MAT (she read as "mate"). She was unsure when to use a short or long vowel sound.
​
After 1 year of tutoring Kelsey can now read and spell 5 and 6 letter one-syllable words with short vowels accurately, not only in lists but also in phrases and stories with fluency. She is starting to WOW her parents by learning some tricky spelling patterns, like when to use a C, and K, or a CK when spelling the /k/ sound.
