– Orton Gillingham – Referred to as the gold standard of reading instruction and remediation, The Orton-Gillingham Approach is a highly structured way to teach reading, spelling, and writing to all students, specifically those with dyslexia. Developed by Dr. Samuel Orton, Anna Gillingham, and Bessy Stillman, the core focus of this proven approach is to teach reading and spelling in a logical, systemic, multisensory, and sequential way that meets the unique needs of the individual learner. Our school has been partners with Edwards Orton Gillingham since 2017 (https://edwardsog.com/) and we continue to work with them and their staff developers to support our teachers and students as we do this MUCH NEEDED work with our students.
– Heggerty Phonemic Awareness (https://heggerty.org/) – This is a research-based 35-week curriculum of daily phonemic and phonological awareness lesson plans. The Heggerty Phonemic Awareness Curriculum provides students with consistent and repeated instruction, and this transfers to developing a student’s decoding and encoding skills.
