Présentation de l'éditeur :

The Orton-Gillingham Educators’ Guide is a resource tool for those who have been trained in the Orton-Gillingham Approach. The Orton-Gillingham Educators’ Guide also provides overviews of the Orton-Gillingham approach and of the structure of the English language for those looking to pursue Orton-Gillingham training or for those wishing to add more "tools" to their teaching toolbox. This guide is not meant to replace Orton-Gillingham training; instead, it is designed to enhance and supplement it. The Orton-Gillingham methodology is appropriate for teaching students in classrooms, small groups or 1:1 settings - in both the primary and secondary grades. Originally designed for teaching children with dyslexia, for almost 90 years the principles of Orton-Gillingham have improved students' reading, spelling, and writing abilities. Many of today’s most successful reading programs are based on Orton-Gillingham’s multi-sensory approach that incorporates all three modalities of the language triangle – visual, auditory, and kinesthetic/tactile. Employing these modalities throughout instruction allows students to learn in a multisensory way, which is the most effective way to learn and retain information.
