About this episode

This episode discusses how structured, multisensory approaches like Orton-Gillingham can help struggling readers improve their reading skills.

Struggling readers aren’t “behind” because they’re lazy or not trying hard enough. In this episode, we unpack what actually happens in the brain when kids learn to read, why so many fall through the cracks, and how structured, multisensory approaches like Orton-Gillingham can completely change a child’s trajectory. Tune in for clear, evidence-based strategies and real classroom stories that give parents and teachers both language and tools to advocate for better reading instruction.
