Children with learning disabilities were extremely affected by school closures, due to lack of support in accessing the curriculum. In an effort to help provide them with necessary tools to make learning easier, The Literacy Arena came into being. Based on the Orton-Gillingham principles of literacy instruction

Our Approach
The Orton-Gillingham Approach
The Orton-Gillingham Approach is a direct, explicit, multisensory, structured, sequential, diagnostic, and prescriptive way to teach literacy when reading, writing, and spelling does not come easily to individuals, such as those with dyslexia. It is most properly understood and practiced as an approach, not a method, program, or system. In the hands of a well-trained and experienced instructor, it is a powerful tool of exceptional breadth, depth, and flexibility.
