What is Orton-Gillingham?

Orton-Gillingham is a structured literacy method for teaching children who have trouble reading due to dyslexia or other learning issues. This method uses a specific way of teaching reading and spelling to help children improve their skills. Certified specialists use this method in both one-to-one and small-group settings.

 

The Orton-Gillingham method is evidenced-based and teaches reading and spelling using these key components!
