Orton-Gillingham Groups
Orton-Gillingham helps learners build phonemic awareness skills, improve decoding, and encoding. Our small groups focus heavily on these skills with some reading comprehension.
Sessions are available on Tuesday-Friday at Niceville Tutoring's NEW building (703 Powell Dr) located behind the main building. There is a separate sitting area provided for parents and siblings.
Families with students 1st-4th may choose between either two or three days per week. Families with 5th-10th grade students may attend 1-3 days per week. Holidays will not be billed. Groups are broken down by level and age group.
Billing & Prices
We send invoices the week following your sessions, that way you only pay for sessions that have actually happened already.
The amount you pay is based on the number of days your child attends.
$ 65 for 1 day per week
$ 125 for 2 days per week
$ 175 for 3 days per week
All new students will undergo a one-time assessment with our Orton-Gillingham Lead, Teresa Purnell, M.Ed. This is not a diagnostic of your child, it is only to assess their current skills. This assessment has a one-time fee of $99.
