Orton-Gillingham Method - Spelling Workshop - for all ages

Based on the Orton-Gillingham method. This approach helps take the mystery out of reading and spelling by focusing on "why" words are spelled the way they are. Although the English Language contains just 26 letters, these letters combine to make 44 speech sounds, and there are 250 ways to spell those sounds. That makes it very hard for some children to comprehend and learn. But the Orton-Gillingham approach condenses the spelling of these sounds into phonograms (letters or combinations of letter such as "sh" or "igh", which accelerates the process of learning to read and spell. Students are taught rules and generalizations that make reading and spelling much easier.

Orton-Gillingham is a powerful approach because it is

multi-sensory
sequential
incremental
cumulative
individualised
phonics-based
explicit.

This is a basic 10 to 12 week program. 2 per class size only!
