Orton-Gillingham (also known as OG), is an Approach to teaching reading based on time-tested practice and scientific evidence on how individuals learn to read and write. It is often referred to as the”gold standards” for students with learning differences.
While this intervention can benefit any struggling reader, it is specifically fantastic for students identified with learning differences such as dyslexia and dysgraphia. The multi-sensory approach develops a student’s mental agility by encouraging them to use many parts of the brain, which allows new concepts, skills, and strategies to create new neural pathways and stay fixed in memory.
