Orton-Gillingham is an explicit reading and phonics instructional approach that is structured for struggling readers. The approach is combined with multi-sensory teaching strategies paired with systematic, sequential lessons focused on phonics. These lessons are geared towards not only struggling readers but our students with disabilities and students with dyslexia as well. The Orton-Gillingham approach breaks down reading and spelling into smaller skills involving letters and sounds to then build these skills overtime while using sight, touch, hearing, and movement to build on these connections.
