Orton-Gillingham: A Proven Path to Reading and Spelling Success

Orton-Gillingham is a structured, multi-sensory approach designed to help individuals with dyslexia and other learning challenges improve reading and spelling skills through personalized, engaging instruction.

What is the Orton
Gillingham Approach?

The Orton Gillingham certification is the "gold standard" for treating dyslexia.

The Orton-Gillingham Approach is a direct, explicit, multisensory, structured, sequential, diagnostic, and prescriptive way to teach literacy when reading, writing, and spelling does not come easily to individuals, such as those with dyslexia.  It is most properly understood and practiced as an approach, not a method, program, or system. In the hands of a well-trained and experienced instructor, it is a powerful tool of exceptional breadth, depth, and flexibility.

Expert Orton-Gillingham Instruction for Lasting Literacy Success.

The essential curricular content and instructional practices that characterize the Orton-Gillingham Approach are derived from two sources: first from a body of time-tested knowledge and practice that has been validated over the past 80 years, and second from scientific evidence about how individuals learn to read and write; why a significant number have difficulty in doing so; how having dyslexia makes achieving literacy skills more difficult; and which instructional practices are best suited for teaching such individuals to read and write.
