The Gold Standard for Dyslexia Intervention: Orton-Gillingham

About this event

Join us for an engaging and informative virtual session led by Jo Meyers and Sheneka Travis with Horizon Academy.

Horizon Academy's belief? Teaching reading should be personalized, emotionally sound, and rooted in science—and every teacher should know the patterns and rules that linguistics reveals.

With deep experience in the Orton-Gillingham (O-G) Approach and a passion for language, literature, and linguistics, Jo Meyers and Sheneka Travis both bring expertise and heart to their work with students who have dyslexia and language-based learning disabilities.

In this free 45-minute session, you will learn: (1) Why dyslexia doesn’t reflect intelligence—and how the right support changes everything, (2) How individualized instruction builds student confidence and success, (3) Why training and experience matter in choosing a tutor or specialist, and (4) What makes the Orton-Gillingham Approach effective for students with dyslexia.

By the end of the session you’ll have a better understanding of how to advocate for your child, what high-quality instruction looks like, and how students with learning challenges can thrive.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from two of Kansas City’s leading dyslexia and literacy education experts. There will be time at the end for live Q&A, so bring your questions!
