Using research-backed methods such as **Orton-Gillingham** and the **Lindamood-Bell *LiPS®* and *Seeing Stars*®** programs, we help students develop the *phonemic awareness* and *mental imagery* needed for effortless reading and accurate spelling.   [Learn More](https://forms.gle/gnGB5AuK6MsRFBPt6) ### The Challenge: Does your child struggle to "picture" words in their mind's eye? Many students can learn the (very inconsistent) rules of the English language, but still struggle to decode unrecognized words, recognize sight words, or spell accurately.   Students having these difficulties may: - Read the same word correctly on one page but forget it on the next - "Sound out" (decode) every single word, making reading slow and exhausting - Spell words phonetically (e.g., "sed" for "said") because they have not acquired enough sight words - Compensate by guessing words based on the first letter or picture - Struggle to perceive, blend, or sequence the individual sounds within words, often dropping or adding sounds when spelling Often, the missing links are **phonemic awareness** — the ability to accurately perceive and sequence speech sounds — and **symbol imagery** — the ability to visualize sounds and letters within words. Without these auditory, tactile, and visual foundations, reading fluency and spelling remain an ongoing struggle.   ![Spelling](https://eardleyeducation.com/hubfs/Spelling.jpg) ![Airwriting-2](https://eardleyeducation.com/hubfs/Airwriting-2.jpg) ### The Solution: At Eardley Education Solutions, we don’t just ask students to try harder; we give them the cognitive tools to succeed, including strengthening the connection between language and imagery. We incorporate elements of the **Orton-Gillingham** and **Lindamood-Bell *LiPS®* and *Seeing Stars*®** programs to develop phonemic awareness and stimulate symbol imagery. Our **Adaptive Multisensory Instruction (AMI)TM** methodology helps students to:   - **Visualize Letters**: Create clear mental images of letters and word patterns - **"Feel" the Sounds**: Use tactile-kinesthetic feedback (discovering how the mouth, lips, and tongue move) to accurately identify, classify, and sequence sounds - **Improve Word Attack**: Transition from slow decoding to rapid word recognition - **Master Sight Words**: Build a "visual dictionary" for irregular words that don't follow standard rules - **Achieve Fluency**: Reduce the labor of reading so students can focus on comprehending the story ### How It Works: We follow a proven 5-step framework to ensure our students achieve measurable and lasting growth:   1. **Evaluation**: We begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand your child's unique reading and spelling profile 2. **Explanation**: We sit down with you to translate the data into a clear, actionable roadmap for success 3. **Remediation**: Intensive, one-on-one instruction using multisensory tools in conjunction with **Orton-Gillingham** and the **Lindamood-Bell *LiPS®* and *Seeing Stars®*** programs to build foundational skills 4. **Reflection**: We utilize Curriculum-Based Measurements (CBMs) to monitor progress and adjust the plan in real-time 5. **Integration**: We help your child apply their new fluency to their school curriculum, fostering independence and confidence in the classroom ![Reading](https://eardleyeducation.com/hubfs/Reading.jpg) ![Testimonial](https://eardleyeducation.com/hubfs/Testimonial.jpg) ### The Results: - **Confidence Boost**: When reading becomes easier, school anxiety decreases - **Academic Independence**: Students gain the tools to tackle grade-level texts on their own - **Lifelong Literacy**: We "re-wire" the way the brain processes information, leading to lifelong reading and writing success Are you ready to unlock your child’s reading potential? Every child has the potential to be a fluent reader. Let’s start the journey together.   [Learn More](https://forms.gle/gnGB5AuK6MsRFBPt6) ![Farah Perez](https://eardleyeducation.com/hubfs/Yana%20musheyev.png) ##### Farah Perez Parent *Eardley Education completely changed how my son sees himself as a reader and a student. He is dyslexic and once struggled in single-digit percentiles, avoiding participation and carrying a lot of frustration.* *Today, he is nearly at grade level, earning A’s in reading, succeeding in cold reads, and participating confidently in class. Most importantly, he believes in himself and feels that school is easy for the first time.* *After years of work and support, Eardley didn’t just improve his reading skills—they changed his entire school experience and made what once felt impossible possible.* *Eardley Education Solutions ("EES") utilizes the Seeing Stars®, LiPS®, Visualizing & Verbalizing®, and On Cloud Nine® programs as part of its educational curriculum.

It builds reading fluency by strengthening the foundational skills that enable automatic word recognition and comprehension. What is the Orton-Gillingham approach used at Eardley Education? + Orton-Gillingham is a multisensory, structured literacy approach originally designed for students with dyslexia. It uses visual, auditory, and kinesthetic-tactile pathways simultaneously to teach reading and spelling. Our ESE-certified instructors are trained in this methodology and adapt it to each student's needs. What is a Learning Skills Assessment? + A Learning Skills Assessment is Eardley Education's comprehensive evaluation process. It includes parent and teacher interviews, a review of outside evaluations, and direct assessment of your child's reading, spelling, and executive functioning skills. The results create a personalized instruction plan with clear goals and a timeline for progress. ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "EducationalOrganization", "department" : [ { "@type" : "EducationalOrganization", "address" : { "@type" : "PostalAddress", "addressCountry" : "US", "addressLocality" : "Coral Gables", "addressRegion" : "FL", "postalCode" : "33146", "streetAddress" : "1501 Venera Ave, Suite 330" }, "name" : "Eardley Education Solutions - Coral Gables Learning Hub", "telephone" : "+1 (786) 584-7949" }, { "@type" : "EducationalOrganization", "address" : { "@type" : "PostalAddress", "addressCountry" : "US", "addressLocality" : "Aventura", "addressRegion" : "FL", "postalCode" : "33180", "streetAddress" : "19790 W Dixie Hwy, Suite 304" }, "name" : "Eardley Education Solutions - Aventura Learning Hub", "telephone" : "+1 (786) 584-7949" } ], "description" : "Providing individualized reading fluency, spelling, comprehension, critical thinking, writing, math, and executive function tutoring virtually and at learning hubs.", "logo" : "https://6424840.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/6424840/New%20Logo%20Square%202025%20-%20Nick.png.png", "name" : "Eardley Education Solutions", "telephone" : "+1 (786) 584-7949", "url" : "https://www.eardleyeducation.com" } ``` ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@id" : "https://www.eardleyeducation.com/#organization", "@type" : "EducationalOrganization", "additionalType" : "https://schema.org/LocalBusiness", "address" : [ { "@type" : "PostalAddress", "addressCountry" : "US", "addressLocality" : "Miami", "addressRegion" : "FL", "postalCode" : "33137", "streetAddress" : "350 NE 24 St #PH1" }, { "@type" : "PostalAddress", "addressCountry" : "US", "addressLocality" : "Aventura", "addressRegion" : "FL", "streetAddress" : "Aventura Learning Hub" } ], "aggregateRating" : { "@type" : "AggregateRating", "bestRating" : "5", "ratingValue" : "5.0", "reviewCount" : "28", "worstRating" : "1" }, "areaServed" : [ { "@type" : "State", "name" : "Florida" }, { "@type" : "City", "name" : "Miami" }, { "@type" : "City", "name" : "Aventura" } ], "description" : "Florida's structured literacy specialists providing Science of Reading tutoring for K-12 students with dyslexia, ADHD, and learning differences.
