One-on-One Tutoring for Students With Dyslexia
Dyslexia Tutoring in Colorado Springs using Orton-Gillingham
It is discouraging to watch your child continue to struggle with reading, especially when extra practice or previous tutoring has not led to meaningful progress.
As reading becomes more demanding, students with dyslexia may begin to avoid it, lose confidence, or assume they will never be able to keep up with their peers.
But dyslexia does not prevent a child from becoming a strong reader. With explicit, systematic instruction, students can build foundational skills and begin to experience real success.
Through personalized dyslexia tutoring in Colorado Springs, Strive helps students develop stronger reading and spelling skills to become more confident students.

Strive offers in-person dyslexia tutoring in students’ homes, at local libraries, and at other agreed-upon locations throughout Colorado Springs and nearby communities, including Monument, Fountain, Manitou Springs, and the surrounding area. Online Orton-Gillingham tutoring is also available for families who prefer virtual sessions.
Where is dyslexia tutoring available in the Colorado Springs area?
Many students benefit from dyslexia tutoring at least twice per week, particularly when they are working to close significant reading or spelling gaps. Consistent instruction helps students retain new skills and build momentum, but the recommended frequency depends on the student’s age, needs, goals, and schedule.
How often should my child receive dyslexia tutoring?
Yes, Orton-Gillingham tutoring can support elementary, middle, and high school students. Older students receive age-appropriate instruction that addresses gaps in foundational reading and spelling skills while respecting their maturity, academic demands, and personal goals.
Can Orton-Gillingham tutoring help older students with dyslexia?
Orton-Gillingham tutoring can target phonemic awareness, phonics, decoding, spelling, fluency, and other foundational literacy skills. Lessons help students understand how sounds, letters, syllables, and language patterns work together so they can approach reading and spelling more accurately and confidently.
What skills are taught during Orton-Gillingham tutoring?
Strive’s dyslexia tutors begin by understanding each student’s current skills, learning profile, and areas of difficulty. Instruction is then intentionally sequenced and adjusted to target the specific reading and spelling skills the student needs to strengthen rather than following a one-size-fits-all program.
How does Strive personalize dyslexia tutoring for students in Colorado Springs?
Students may benefit from dyslexia tutoring if they have consistent difficulty with decoding, spelling, reading fluency, or remembering sound-letter patterns despite consistent effort. Some students also avoid reading, guess at unfamiliar words, or become frustrated when literacy tasks feel harder than expected.
