How does Blue Crane Literacy teach structured literacy?
-
By using the Orton-Gillingham approach.
What is the Orton-Gillingham approach?
-
The Orton-Gillingham (OG) approach is a structured, multi-sensory method for teaching literacy. It breaks down reading and spelling into smaller, manageable skills, incorporating visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning pathways.
-
The Orton-Gillingham approach is widely recognized as an effective way for teaching individuals with dyslexia. However, since it teaches structured literacy and phonics, Blue Crane Literacy believes it is the most effective way to teach all young children.

I want to be in a group. Will Blue Crane Literacy place me in a group?
-
No. Groups work best for young friends. When booking, decide on two or three other friends of the same age, and book together. One-on-one is available too.
Will I still benefit from Blue Crane Literacy if I attend once a month?
-
No. For stuctured literacy to be effective, twice a week is minimum, three to four times a week is ideal.
What is your cancellation & attendance policy?
-
Enrollment at Blue Crane Literacy reserves dedicated time slots for your child each week. Like other extracurricular activities (such as hockey or ballet), tuition is billed in advance to secure your child’s place.
-
Invoices are issued monthly and are payable upon receipt.
-
If your child is absent due to illness, or any other reason, sessions are not refunded. Your child’s time is reserved exclusively for them, and that space cannot be filled on short notice.
-
At the end of the school year, families will have the opportunity to make up up to two missed sessions, subject to availability.
