*This course is certified by the Orton-Gillingham Academy.

Orton-Gillingham is one of the most proven language-based methods for teaching students structured literacy in a way that aligns with the research on how children learn to read and write. It is especially beneficial to students with language-based learning disabilities, such as dyslexia. This Orton-Gillingham (OG) Classroom Educator Training is comprised of OG Classroom Educator Coursework (40 hours) and an optional OG Classroom Educator Practicum. If you intend to work 1:1 with students with dyslexia, then we recommend you take the Orton-Gillingham Associate Level Instructor Training following this OG Classroom Educator Training.
