Reach Learning Centres Inc.

REACH Orton-Gillingham Learning Centre Inc. is an academic remediation centre and Orton-Gillingham training centre that was formed to assist individuals who are struggling to learn to read or spell. Using the Orton-Gillingham approach to remediating language-based learning difficulties, our staff have all been specifically trained to teach reading, writing and basic language skills to students who have difficulties acquiring these skills. Many students require this kind of intervention, either in a small group or at a one on one level, in order to acquire the literacy and math skills necessary to succeed in school. While some children are able to learn to read and spell in a typical classroom setting, a significant population of students need the information presented in a different way in order to learn. This approach to teaching in the way that the student learns is where REACH comes in. Students come for lessons at REACH a minimum of twice, but up to five times weekly. Remediation lessons are usually one hour at a time, and can occur week days during the morning, early afternoon, or after school hours, depending on availability. Our founder has been supporting students with language remediation for over two decades. The REACH centre, named REACH as an acronym for "Remedial Education for Adults and Children", opened its doors in 2004 and in that time has successfully remediated reading and spelling difficulties for hundreds of children.
