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, and parents to help anyone who struggles with reading and writing.
Level 1 explores Kindergarten literacy with a focus on:
- phonemic awareness (where is the sound: beginning, middle, end; orally blending sounds to make words; etc)
- vowel/consonant distinction
- single consonant, short vowel, and final/initial blends
- syllables/syllabication (closed syllables, rabbit division)
- the affix tree
- what is a sentence?
