How do Wilson and Barton compare to Orton-Gillingham and the virtual reading intervention program used in my private practice? If you have a dyslexic or struggling reader, my team has openings for 1:1 support. www.erinluchterhand.com erin@erinluchterhand.com FB and Insta: Erin Luchterhand Coaching 2025-02-2643 minVirtual Education Intervention PodcastVirtual Education Intervention PodcastNeurodivergence and Dyslexia: Orton Gillingham is the Gold Standard for Reading InterventionReadingRockets.org explains that “Orton–Gillingham was the first teaching approach specifically designed to help struggling readers by explicitly teaching the connections between letters and sounds. Today — decades later — many reading programs include Orton–Gillingham ideas.

It is considered the GOLD STANDARD for reading intervention. 2025-02-1838 minVirtual Education Intervention PodcastVirtual Education Intervention PodcastParenting NeurodivergenceWhen you parent a child with neurodivergence (by the way, what does that even mean?), there are many challenges, fears, and anxieties.  But there is also so much joy.  I have held the core belief that we are created on and for a purpose for a long time.  I had to wrestle with that belief when my child started speech therapy because her language was not developing. How do we approach our belief system when those we love face challenges?   2025-02-1133 minVirtual Education Intervention PodcastVirtual Education Intervention PodcastYou Don't Have to be the Lonely Parent or Teacher anymore...

Maybe you hated it at the time or you look back and wonder WHY you had to learn it. Education should relate to the end goal: becoming a functional adult and productive member of society. Perhaps there is a function and purpose to what's being taught - then we, as educators, must make it relatable to our student's lives. Seriously, who uses algebra in every day life?

We homeschool, not everyone does. We work from home, not everyone else does. We have the core foundation of why we do what we do and the confidence to know that it's right for our family. But it can be lonely trudging through the hard day without some encouragement and a community to come alongside you.

And we tag team it all. Sometimes there's discouragement, exhaustion, or judgemental questions. Whatever the discouragement, WHERE we find our source of encouragement matters. Coming back to the source of truth - Scripture - and remembering our "why" are two ways we keep ourselves encouraged when the going gets tough. Hey Mom and Dad - you are doing a great job!
