Reading and Writing Tutoring Program
At The Odyssey School, the individualized Reading and Writing Tutoring Program empowers students with dyslexia and language learning differences to become confident, capable learners. Every child receives daily, personalized instruction in a supportive 2:1 small group setting. This dedicated tutoring session is provided in addition to a daily 50-minute language class, giving students multiple opportunities each day to strengthen their language and literacy skills.
The specially trained teachers use proven, evidence-based programs including Phono-Graphix™ and Spell-Links™, which build strong foundations in decoding, spelling, and reading fluency. Alongside these, all students learn to apply the EmPOWER™ writing method, a clear and structured process that helps organize ideas and improve written expression across all subjects and grade levels.
Beyond foundational skills, tutoring sessions also focus on vocabulary development, comprehension, oral expression, and executive function skills. Each student’s progress is closely monitored, and instruction is continuously adapted to support growth and build confidence. With a nurturing and supportive environment, Odyssey helps students rediscover the joy of learning and develop the skills needed to thrive in high school and beyond.
