Code Breakers: Unlocking Reading, Writing and Spelling


*The event has already taken place on this date: Fri, 08/12/2022
Is your child struggling to read? Reading below grade level? Having trouble spelling and writing down ideas? This summer class teaches students to read, write and spell better using the proven, phonemically-based, multisensory Orton-Gillingham method of instruction, alongside other fun, interactive multisensory tools and approaches. Students participate in guided reading and writing lessons, with hands-on activities that improve these skills.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

Who Is the Code Breakers Program For?

This program is designed for students who are struggling to learn to read and spell and/or have a diagnosed learning difference, such as Dyslexia and/or ADHD. These students have a need for structured literacy instruction that is multisensory and sequential. No prior exposure to Orton-Gillingham or related programs is necessary; however, students who have received Orton-Gillingham, Wilson, or other multisensory, structured, sequential reading programs previously will benefit from this small-group class. We assess students and group them accordingly to meet them where they are at and build skills from there.

Benefits of Code Breakers include: 

  • Students experience increased independence, success, self-esteem, and confidence in the classroom
  • Pre- and post-testing included measuring skill development
  • Parent-teacher conference
  • Weekly newsletters highlighting each week’s activities in your child’s classroom
  • Parents receive an in-depth progress report at the end of the class
  • Each student creates a customized resource binder with the indispensable information presented during the class to use throughout the coming school year
  • Students learn how to advocate for their learning style
  • Students start the school year with increased skills
