Orton-Gillingham
The Orton-Gillingham Multisensory Method was developed in the early 1930's by Anna Gillingham and Dr. Samuel Orton. It was developed initially as a way to teach dyslexic students the structure of our written language. It was designed as a was a structured and sequential system that builds on itself using a multisensory approach. Orton Gillingham is a structured, systematic approach that supports students in learning how sounds and letters are related in words and by using visual, auditory, tactile, and kinesthetic modes to support stronger and more positive outcomes for children. Although initially developed for dyslexic students, Orton Gillingham can be used with a variety of students to develop their ability to break down words into meaningful parts , to develop spelling through links with sound symbol associations, spelling rules, and generalizations, supports vocabulary development through morphemes, and develops fluency through single words, sentences, and use of leveled text.
