My Project

The Orton-Gillingham Associate Level Course is a 60-hour comprehensive two-week class. The class advances an attendees understanding of the specific procedures of the OG Approach and the underlying principles in teaching reading, spelling and vocabulary to dyslexic students. Teachers learn how to instruct struggling readers in ways that unlock the code of reading and spelling. The course is geared for anyone searching for ways to teach dyslexic students, both as a one-on-one tutor or in the classroom. Specific topics covered in the class include:

Dyslexia and related brain research

General history and structure of the English language

Phonological and phonemic awareness

Sound/symbol relationships for reading and spelling

Six syllable types and seven ways to divide words into syllables

An introduction to Anglo-Saxon and Latin morphemes

Spelling rules and generalizations

“Learned” or non-phonetic words

Advanced decoding skills

Scope/sequence and lesson planning

Teaching strategies and development of teaching materials
