Professional Development/Orton-Gillingham Training

INTRODUCTORY TRAINING

One day Workshop - Wednesday, June 25, 2014

Why Orton-Gillingham? This method of teaching provides multi-sensory, direct, explicit, sequential, language-based instruction that empowers educators with the fundamental principles of the English language. The approach can be beneficial not only for students with dyslexia, but for all students. This approach incorporates the five basic components essential to an effective reading program:  phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary development, fluency, and comprehension.

After participating in this hands-on training, participants will acquire the tools necessary to understand the fundamentals of multi-sensory instruction and the principles of the Orton-Gillingham method.

You will learn:

                                 Multi-sensory strategies for reading, writing, and spelling

                                 Phonemic Awareness

                                 Syllabication patterns for decoding and encoding.

                                 Student Assessment Techniques

                                 Guidelines for daily and weekly lesson plans
