For over 50 years, the Orton-Gillingham approach has been the most crucial and significant reading intervention designed specifically for children and adults with dyslexia and other reading difficulties. Based on the extensive research of neurologist Dr. Samuel Orton and teacher Anna Gillingham, the Orton-Gillingham approach uses visual, auditory, and kinesthetic associations to help students learn sound-symbol relationships.

The Orton-Gillingham approach is extremely flexible. It is used in schools, language clinics, and tutoring centers around the world. Reading specialists and special education teachers often use Orton-Gillingham in small group or one-on-one tutoring situations. This multisensory reading intervention is an unsurpassed tool for preventing and remediating reading difficulties.

Training Required
It is recommended that teachers receive training before implementing the Orton-Gillingham approach. For more training information, visit www.ortonacademy.org.

200-WX	Gillingham Manual (green, 8th Edition) 1–5 pricing: 69.95 6+ pricing: 48.95 The Orton-Gillingham approach is the most crucial and significant reading intervention designed specifically for students with dyslexia and other reading difficulties. The Gillingham Manual is the backbone of this approach. The Orton-Gillingham approach is extremely flexible and can be used with individuals or small groups. In this multisensory phonics technique students first learn the sounds of letters, and then build these letter-sounds into words. They progress to advanced structural elements such as syllable types, roots, and affixes. Students use auditory, visual and kinesthetic associations to remember concepts. The Gillingham manual covers reading and spelling (including a history of the English Language that helps explain some of its curious spellings and pronunciations), training for older students, acquiring familiarity with sound symbols, writing, spelling patterns, and generalizations, handwriting, and dictionary technique. Skills Addressed • History of the English language • Sound-symbol relationships • Letter formation • Spelling generalizations • Dictionary use • Short and long vowel sounds • Digraphs • Diphthongs • Affixes and roots • Word structure • Consonant sounds • Decoding and encoding words	Ungraded	69.95	48.95

One pack is recommended for each student.	Ungraded	39.95	27.95
