Who Are We

At Cardinal Reading Strategies, LLC, our primary objective, with the Orton-Gillingham tradition as our foundation, is to provide tools, goals, and structure that meet the needs of students requiring either primary instruction or remediation in the reading (decoding) and spelling (encoding) of the English language. 

Orton-Gillingham (evidence-based reading instruction) is an intensive, sequential, and cumulative approach that teaches the basics of word formation before whole meaning.  We teach to a students’ strengths while improving their weaknesses through explicit and systematic phonics instruction.  As a result, a student’s ability to master reading, writing, and spelling of the English language is fostered, forensically.

With our evidence-based approach, students can be quickly shown the phonetic nature of the English language and the proper structure of the written language.

Our Services

Assessment

Assessments are systematic processes utilized to evaluate and measure an individual’s knowledge, skills, abilities, or performance in a specific area. They play a crucial role in educational and personal development. Properly designed assessments ensure that goals are achieved and standards are met, ultimately contributing to ongoing growth and success.

Intervention

Reading intervention involves targeted instruction and support to improve literacy skills, comprehension, and overall academic performance. By implementing evidence-based techniques, educators can help students overcome barriers to reading proficiency, fostering confidence and a love for literature. Our reading intervention involves customized, one-on-one language training and specialized resources to address each student's unique needs.

Educational advocacy plays a crucial role in ensuring equitable access to quality education for all students. We work tirelessly to champion the rights of learners, striving to address systemic barriers and promote inclusive environments. Through collaboration with educators, educational advocacy seeks to empower students to achieve their full potential and contribute positively to society.
