Lesson Planning and Implementation of the Orton-Gillingham Approach

Attendees will use informal evaluations to determine where to begin with a student/students. They will also understand an OG sequence of skills, how they build upon each other, and learn the essential components of an OG lesson plan and the reciprocal nature of reading and spelling. Attendees will practice how to drill various phonogram decks and use metacognitive strategies to improve working memory in students. Attendees will design and write specific lesson plans with word lists/phrases/sentences at basic and advanced levels as well as deliver an OG lesson (or part of a lesson) to the group.

This workshop is intended to be interactive and collaborative. Instructor will tailor topics according to attendees' specific contexts and professional priorities.
