The primary goal is to teach students to read and write at word level while also developing comprehension.

Orton Gillingham was designed for students with reading disabilities with an emphasis on dyslexia. However, this teaching method is effective for ALL learners and age groups.

Orton Gillingham is a well-regarded research-based approach that has proven to be beneficial for struggling readers. This technique is effective because of the emphasis placed on individualized, structured learning.

Each lesson is based on the students’ strengths and weaknesses to help master individual skills. OG is especially effective for students with dyslexia because dyslexia varies greatly from person to person.

Originally, the OG method was primarily taught in person but many teachers have adapted to using technology over the past year. Being online keeps students engaged by using more creative resources

such as online games and tools.
