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. |
