“I am so grateful to have taken this approach to teaching reading and language…I strongly feel that this approach should be part of every public and private school curriculum. I highly recommend this to every teacher. This will benefit every student, not just students with dyslexia."

SHARON, 3rd Grade Teacher, Madison City Schools

“After attending the two-week Associate level Orton-Gillingham training, I am feeling very powerful! This multi-sensory approach can be applied to any program that a school district has adopted. I have been a public school teacher for 20 years and this course taught me so much new knowledge. I highly recommend this cognitive approach to learning.”

TAMI, Literacy Coach, Hoover, AL

“One of the best courses I have ever taken. The hands-on practice of the principles and techniques of O.G. were very helpful.”
