Orton-Gillingham Training
Brought to you by the Rose Institute for Learning and Literacy, Orton-Gillingham is a structured, multisensory approach to literacy instruction developed in the early 20th century by Dr. Samuel Orton and Anna Gillingham.
Multisensory techniques are defined as using the visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and
tactile pathways to the brain. This diagnostic and prescriptive approach combines
remediation, based on extensive research on children with language processing difficulties,
with an analysis of the structure of the English language. Skills are taught in sequence
based on an understanding of how children naturally develop language. Rules and patterns
of the language are emphasized to prepare teachers with knowledge of the structure
of the English language to teach students to decode words on their own.
Structured flexibility is the hallmark of the Orton-Gillingham approach.
