The Gillingham Manual

About The Program

""""
Remedial Training for Children with Specific Disability in Reading, Spelling, and Penmanship

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. The Gillingham Manual is the backbone of this approach.

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. This multisensory reading intervention is an unsurpassed tool for preventing and remediating reading difficulties.
