Orton-Gillingham is a reknowned research-based reading program that teaches children how to successfully decode all words. Most schools teach students phonics along with the 3-cueing program, which moves students toward guessing at words instead of decoding them. I want 100% of my students to leave my classroom an amazing reader, and this program has proven itself to be successful over and over again with beginning/struggling readers. I have been trained in Orton-Gillingham, but I need the materials to be able to bring it into my classroom. Because of budget cuts, my school is not able to provide the materials needed. The books we currently have only use the 3-cueing method, which does not work if I want to move away from the guessing strategy. The sand and literacy activities are extensions that the students will use to practice the skills already taught. These activities add fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension to their learning.
