Reach Learning Centre @reachcentre.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Many say they offer “OG.” But there’s a difference between saying it and actually being the original. We opened on this day in 2004 and since then, Reach has been the leader in Structured Literacy intervention in Canada. We’re not new to this. We're literally the OGs of OG. #OrtonGillingham 010
Reach Learning Centre @reachcentre.bsky.social · 26/03/2026Some children finish Kindergarten, Grade 1, or Grade 2 still feeling unsure about reading or writing. As a parent, you might notice: • Trouble with sounds or letters • Slow reading or guessing at words • Avoiding writing • Frustration when spelling doesn’t make sense 110
Reach Learning Centre @reachcentre.bsky.social · 13/03/2026Reach Learning Centres in BC will be closed for Spring Break from March 14–29 and will reopen on March 30.

Reach Learning Centre @reachcentre.bsky.social · 25/02/2026Today we wear pink. Students with learning differences are too often misunderstood... and too often bullied.

Reach Learning Centre @reachcentre.bsky.social · 18/02/2026At Reach, families know they’re working with experts in Structured Literacy. ✅️ Every lesson is intentionally designed for the individual learner. ✅️ Our practitioners are extensively trained and mentored. ✅️ Progress is monitored and support is layered. That level of professionalism is standard. 100
Reach Learning Centre @reachcentre.bsky.social · 14/02/2026Not all intervention is equal. Following a program isn’t the same as designing a lesson around the learner. At Reach, our trained practitioners build every lesson intentionally around the needs of each child. That’s the difference. That’s why kids thrive here. #LearningDifficulties #Dyslexia 000

Reach Learning Centre @reachcentre.bsky.social · 15/09/2025Reading programs only address part of the issue with language.

Reach Learning Centre @reachcentre.bsky.social · 02/09/2025"Structured Literacy and OG Intervention is helpful for all learners, but CRUCIAL for those with dyslexia and language-based learning disabilities." ~ Corey Zylstra #HelpingKidsRead #StrugglingReaders #EveryChildCanLearn #ScienceOfReading #DyslexiaAwareness #LearningDisabilities #StructuredLiteracy 000
Reach Learning Centre @reachcentre.bsky.social · 20/08/2025Early intervention is crucial in closing literacy gaps and preventing a lifetime of literacy delays. We feel strongly that we do not have to wait for a child to fail in order to support their reading and writing development. #ScienceOfReading #LearningDisabilities #StructuredLiteracy #RightToRead 000
Reach Learning Centre @reachcentre.bsky.social · 04/08/2025Levelled readers, often noted by a letter level, are usually NOT supported by research. Reading instruction should NOT use only levelled readers or 3-cueing systems. Children must be taught to decode to build fluency. #ScienceOfReading #DyslexiaAwareness #RightToRead #DyslexiaSupport 000
Reach Learning Centre @reachcentre.bsky.social · 25/07/2025Orton-Gillingham intervention provided by Reach is NOT a program, kit, or set of lessons. True OG intervention enables carefully designed, structured literacy tailored to the specific and unique needs of each learner. #ScienceOfReading #DyslexiaAwareness #LearningDisabilities #StructuredLiteracy 000
