Sessions with a Reading Specialist in Training
Educators attend classes with us to learn how to become Orton Gillingham Reading Specialists. They are referred to as ReSiTs, or “Reading-Specialists-in-Training.”
While these educators are learning, they need students to work with to practice their skills. When you sign up to work with a ReSiT, you are not only helping that educator, you also get a great deal on tuition!
