Tutoring based on the Orton-Gillingham (O-G) approach is highly systematic, individualized, and follows a consistent structure, which is a key part of its effectiveness. A typical O-G tutoring session is composed of several integrated, sequential steps.

The core of O-G tutoring is the diagnostic and prescriptive nature of the instruction, meaning we meet your child where they are at. We move as quickly as possible, but as slowly as necessary. 

Hi! We are Angela and Ellyn, former school teachers who stepped away from the classroom to focus on our families. We founded Asheville Reading Roots in 2024 after realizing we both missed teaching. This way, we could spend time with our families while continuing to work with students and help them succeed.
