The Rhode Island Children's Dyslexia Center provides free tutoring to dyslexic children on a first come, first serve basis. The Center provides Orton-GIllingham tutoring to children with dyslexia (at no cost to them) on a first-come, first serve basis. Currently, the Center is tutoring more than 30 students with another 30+ students on the wait list. In order to remain operational, we must raise our budget every year through various fundraising efforts. Our tutoring - the Orton-Gillingham method - costs $5,000 per child per year. This is the best method for tutoring dyslexic children, and to increase the Center's impact, we also train adults to become certified tutors. Once their training is done, they can provide Orton-Gillingham tutoring to children beyond the Center's ability.
