Interventions

Orton Gillingham

The Orton-Gillingham Approach is a direct, explicit, multisensory, structured, sequential, diagnostic, and prescriptive way to teach literacy when reading, writing, and spelling does not come easily to individuals, such as those with dyslexia. 

The Orton-Gillingham Approach is focused upon the learning needs of  individual students. Orton-Gillingham (OG) teachers design lessons and materials to work with students at the level they present by pacing instruction and the introduction of new materials to their individual strengths and weaknesses.

Phonemic awareness is the ability to understand that spoken words are made up of individual sounds called phonemes, and it’s one of the best early predictors for reading success.13s to understand that words are made up of individual sounds, and they can blend, segment, and manipulate those sounds. 

If students can do this work through the air, we can transfer these skills to print, so they can read and spell more words.
