1. Does dyslexia mean you reverse letters and numbers?

Reversing letters and numbers in the early years of school is quite common. However, persistent reversals are often associated with dyslexia. However, dyslexia is much more complex than just reversals.

2. What is the Orton-Gillingham method and why does the Grand Traverse Dyslexia Association use it as its primary tutoring method?

Orton-Gillingham is a method that is individual, multisensory, intensive-phonic, synthetic and systematic. GTDA has used Orton-Gillingham for twenty five years, and we have watched our bright, capable students become successful readers, writers and spellers with this approach.
