What an incredible time at the LINKS Fair!

We are so grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a meaningful community event supporting children and families across our region. The energy throughout the day was truly inspiring—families connecting with resources, providers collaborating, and everyone coming together with a shared commitment to helping kids thrive.

A heartfelt thank you to the organizers for putting together such a well-run and impactful event. We loved meeting families, answering questions, and sharing more about the services and support available through our clinic.

Days like this remind us why we do what we do. It’s always an honor to stand alongside so many dedicated professionals and community partners who are working tirelessly to make a difference.

Who Was Anna Gillingham and Why Does Guidepost Use Orton-Gillingham?

📚 Meet Anna Gillingham 📚

Anna Gillingham was an educator and psychologist who partnered with Dr. Samuel Orton to develop what is now known as the Orton-Gillingham Approach—one of the most respected and research-supported methods for language for individuals with dyslexia and language-based learning differences.

Anna Gillingham helped organize and develop a structured, systematic way to teach reading, spelling, writing, and language skills that continues to help children and adults around the world today.

💡 Why Does Guidepost Use Orton-Gillingham Techniques?

At Guidepost Pediatric Therapies and Educational Services, we believe every child deserves access to effective, evidence-based intervention. That’s why our team incorporates Orton-Gillingham principles into dyslexia intervention and language-based learning support.

The Orton-Gillingham approach is:

✅ Structured and sequential
✅ Multisensory (using visual, auditory, and movement-based learning)
✅ Individualized to each child’s needs
✅ Explicitly taught rather than assumed
✅ Designed to build strong reading, spelling, and language foundations

Children with dyslexia often learn differently, and Orton-Gillingham helps break language down into manageable, teachable steps while building confidence along the way.

🌟 At Guidepost, we see firsthand how systematic, research-based instruction can help children strengthen literacy skills, improve academic success, and develop a lifelong love of learning.

Because when children are taught in a way that matches how their brains learn, amazing things can happen.

Weekend of Strategic Planning & Growth 🌱

This weekend was dedicated to strategic planning, vision casting, and preparing for the next season of growth with all of our wonderful therapists. As we continue to serve children and families, we are committed to building stronger programs, expanding opportunities, and ensuring every decision reflects our mission and values.

We spent time reflecting on how far we’ve come, celebrating successes, identifying areas for improvement, and setting goals for the future. Growth doesn’t happen by accident—it happens through intentional planning, collaboration, and a shared commitment to excellence. Thank you to all of the parents who contributed to the memory book for therapist and staff.

We’re excited about what’s ahead and grateful for our incredible team, families, and community who make this work so meaningful. The future is bright, and we’re just getting started! ✨

What an incredible summer so far this week at reading camp! ☀️📚✏️

This week has been full of reading, writing, creativity, laughter, and growth with Ms. Erika and Ms. Susan. Students have been diving into hands-on literacy activities, sensory learning, decoding practice, creative writing, games, and confidence-building challenges all week long.

From sounding out words to building stories, every child is making meaningful progress while having fun along the way. We are so proud of the hard work, imagination, and determination our readers have shown already this summer!

Thank you to all of our amazing families for being part of such a fun and successful reading camp season so far. 💙

At reading camp this week, our learners explored the power of CVC words (consonant-vowel-consonant words) through hands-on sensory play and movement-based learning! ✨📚

From building words in sensory bins to tapping out sounds with movement activities, our campers practiced decoding, spelling, and reading in ways that engaged the whole brain. Sensory-based learning helps children strengthen phonemic awareness, memory, attention, and confidence while making reading FUN! 🎉

This week was filled with:
🖍️ Sand and sensory tray word building
✋ Tactile letter tracing
🎲 Movement and sound-matching games
📖 CVC decoding challenges
💡 Multi-sensory reading strategies that support all learners

Watching children gain confidence one sound at a time is what reading camp is all about! ❤️ GuidepostPediatrics ReadingSuccess HandsOnLearning

“Sneaky E” may be quiet… but it changes EVERYTHING. ✨📚

Today in reading camp, we explored the magic of Sneaky E and how one tiny letter can completely change a word’s sound and meaning!

🪄 cap → cape
🪄 hop → hope
🪄 kit → kite
🪄 mad → made

Students practiced:
🔹 Long vowel sounds
🔹 Decoding strategies
🔹 Word building
🔹 Reading confidence through hands-on games and movement activities

It’s amazing to watch children realize that one little “e” at the end can make the vowel “say its name!” 💡

At Guidepost Pediatrics, we love making reading concepts interactive, memorable, and FUN! ❤️ GuidepostPediatrics LearningThroughPlay
