Orton-Gillingham is literacy instruction for everyone. It is a curriculum designed by a neurologist and a linguist using a trauma-informed perspective and multi-sensory learning tools.
Learn skills that can be applied in a classroom setting or with one-to-one instruction. These techniques will prepare teachers/tutors/educators/parents to help anyone who struggles with reading and writing.
Certification includes:
- Level 1: Kindergarten Literacy
- Level 2: Primary Literacy
- Level 3: Advanced Primary Literacy
Upon completion of Levels 1, 2, and 3, students will obtain an Orton-Gillingham tutoring certificate, which can allow them to open their own business and work successfully with students of any age with a variety of special needs. Many schools and literacy organizations also recognize the value of an Orton-Gillingham certificate, which can also increase their competitive value in the education field.
