Orton-Gillingham Paperback

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Orton-Gillingham approach to reading instruction was developed in the early-20th century. It is language-based, multisensory, structured, sequential, cumulative, cognitive, and flexible. Orton-Gillingham techniques have been in use since the 1930s. These techniques are taught in only a very small number of public school systems today, and then only within special education classes; they are used much more often in private one-on-one tutorials. An intensive, sequential phonics-based system teaches the basics of word formation before whole meanings. The method accommodates and utilizes the three learning modalities, or pathways, through which people learn-visual, auditory and kinesthetic.
