Orton-Gillingham: An innovative teaching approach for struggling readers
Orton-Gillingham is a teaching approach designed to specifically help struggling readers by breaking reading and spelling activities into smaller, manageable skill sets. Orton-Gillingham is a unique teaching approach designed to help individuals who struggle with reading and spelling. It breaks reading and spelling activities into smaller skills and continues to build on these. The Orton-Gillingham teaching approach was created by Samuel T. Orton and Anna Gillingham to provide beneficial instructions to children with dyslexia. The Orton-Gillingham approach uses a multi-sensory approach to teach reading. It uses sight, hearing, touch, and movement to help students learn better. Parents like how the approach is flexible and provides a new approach to learning that works for their kids. Many parents notice significant improvement in their children's reading and spelling capabilities after they begin an Orton-Gillingham based program. There isn't a ton of research published on the effectiveness of the Orton-Gillingham approach. More studies have to be done before it's level of efficacy can be measured.
