2.6 Q&A About OG

You may have heard of Orton-Gillingham, but you may have questions about the principles and approach.

We are both, Emily and Casey, structured literacy specialists trained in Orton-Gillingham and Orton-Gillingham-based programs. 

In this episode, we’re addressing some common questions we see and hear being asked about Orton-Gillingham. We answer these questions from the perspective of interventionists who work with the dyslexic population, however, we understand and support OG-based instruction in the typical or general classroom setting. 

Tune in as we dig into some misunderstandings in conversations around the Orton-Gillingham approach.
