Mission
The mission of the Augustine Project is to improve the reading, writing
and spelling abilities of low-income children and teens who struggle
with literacy skills. The project trains and supports volunteer tutors
who provide free, long term, 1-to-1 instruction using the
Orton-Gillingham approach and Wilson Reading System® materials.
The Augustine Project based at Holy Family Episcopal Church in
Chapel Hill, North Carolina also offers teacher training opportunities
for professional educators.

Orton-Gillingham is a structured, multisensory, phonetic teaching
approach that has been proven to work with those who have
language related learning difficulties. Augustine tutors use Wilson®
materials and lessons include the five essential components of
research-based reading instruction as defined by the National
Reading Panel: phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency
and comprehension.
