Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The updated IMSE Orton-Gillingham Plus Teacher Guide and Fidelity Companion give clearer directions and easy-to-follow lesson plans for teachers. They include phonemic awareness activities that match the reading skills being taught, helping students build strong foundations in sound and word recognition. The manuals also offer added support for English language learners, with tips and strategies to help them understand and practice new sounds, vocabulary, and sentence structures in meaningful ways. With these thoughtful updates, it’s easier to teach all kinds of learners and help every beginning reader grow with confidence and success.
