Resources and Tutoring Services

What is 
Orton-Gillingham?
The Orton-Gillingham intervention model is a structured, multisensory approach designed to help struggling readers, particularly those with dyslexia, improve their reading, writing, and spelling skills. Developed by Samuel Orton and Anna Gillingham, it combines explicit, systematic teaching of phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension using visual, auditory, and kinesthetic/tactile methods. The model is tailored to meet the individual needs of each learner, offering personalized instruction that progresses at a pace suited to the student’s abilities. The Orton-Gillingham method is often used in one-on-one or small-group settings and is based on the principles of direct, repetitive, and cumulative learning.
ABOUT ME
Welcome to my site. My name is Colleeen Mulligan.  I have been an elementary teacher for over 20 years and currently work as a Basic Skills teacher for grades K-2. 

I live in Wall Township with my three kids... Emma, Avary, and Owen.  I also can't forget to mention our dog, Leo.

As an Orton-Gillingham teacher, I am trained in using a structured, multisensory approach to help students, especially those with dyslexia, improve reading, writing, and spelling skills. I provide individualized, step-by-step instruction, incorporating visual, auditory, and kinesthetic methods to meet each student's needs.  My goal is to create a supportive learning environment to help children build confidence and achieve literacy success.

If you're looking for tailored tutoring to help your child overcome reading difficulties, you can contact me via e-mail, phone, or text.

Additionally, I offer a variety of resources on my Teachers Pay Teachers store, providing valuable materials for both parents and educators to enhance reading instruction at home and in the classroom. Check out my site by clicking the learn more button below.

Orton Gillingham Summer Reading Camp

$ 200
/Week
  • The summer slide is real. Students will lose some skills over the summer months without any practice. Usually, students are reading a level or two lower from the end of the previous year. If you are wondering how you can prevent this from happening with your, the OG child, Summer Reading Camp may be the answer. This summer, I will be hosting a summer reading camp. Group sizes will be five students at the most. Sessions will run twice a week for two hours each session and a snack and game in between. Contact me for more information via email or phone.
