What is the Orton-Gillingham Approach?
Orton-Gillingham instruction is an approach (not a reading program) that adheres to the principles of Structured Literacy to help dyslexics with reading, spelling, and writing skills. Structured Literacy is beneficial to all students. The O-G saying, “It helps most and harms no one.” All lessons are created for each student in a 1:1 learning environment.
The Elements of an Effective Orton-Gillingham Approach:
Phonology
Phonemic Awareness
Sound-Symbol Correspondence (Orthography)
Morphology
Syllable Work
Writing: Syntax and Semantics
Informal assessments in the above areas to create a profile of a student’s strengths and weaknesses. (Ipads and computers are not used during instruction.)
