Individual Reading, Spelling, Writing, Math and Planning Instruction for Grades Preschool-Adult

​

Students’ academic skills will be evaluated. Goals and

objectives will be written and implemented individually.

Families and Mrs. Gillan will agree upon how often each week

and goals and objectives for each individual student based

upon student need. Mrs. Gillan is a Massachusetts General

Hospital Certified Orton Gillingham Reading Therapist. She has

been successfully meeting the needs of students with dyslexia

for over 30 years.

​

Each student will have an individual plan. Each instructional

session will be documented by an agenda that is shared with

parents. The agenda provides objective information on what

skills were covered during each instructional session and how

students responded to that instruction by providing data.
