Who We Are

At Cardinal Reading Strategies, our primary objective, with the Orton-Gillingham tradition as our foundation, is to provide tools, goals, and structure that meet the needs of students requiring either primary instruction or remediation in the reading (decoding) and spelling (encoding) of the English language. 

Orton-Gillingham (evidence-based reading instruction) is an intensive, sequential, and cumulative approach that teaches the basics of word formation before whole meanings.  We teach to students’ strengths while improving their weaknesses through explicit and systematic phonics instruction.  As a result, a student’s ability to master reading, writing, and spelling of the English language is fostered, forensically.

With our evidence-based approach, students can be quickly shown the phonetic nature of the English language and the proper structure of the written language.

“Writing is a remarkably clever encryption device by which we turn spoken language into a rich visual texture of marks on stone, clay, or paper.  Reading corresponds to the decryption of this texture.”
