Orton Gillingham International - 40 Hour O.G. Training

Eagle Vail Orton Gillingham (OG) 40 hour Training 

This five day O.G. training will focus on a data driven, clinical, multisensory, phonetic, teacher guided Orton Gillingham  International approach to teaching reading, writing and spelling in whole classroom, small group and one-to-one settings. Upon completing this course participants will have aquired the skills necessary to fully implement this data driven solution for teaching reading to all students.  Teachers implementing the Yoshimoto method with fidelity are demomstrating consistent and significant growth that is being replicated across the U.S.. Perhaps more significant is that teachers love the course, the materials and the success they are seeing in their classrooms and interventions.

The course will cover the three levels of decoding and spelling: sound, syllable, and morphological. With the latter, introductory morphology, the emphasis will be on increasing the vocabulary for all children - general and special education students.  Further, the system supports the outcomes within the Common Core.

All materials required for implementation of the full program are included in the cost of the course.  Further, there will be extensive additional materials provided including: multiple CDs with about 6,000 worksheets dealing with syllabication, sounds, rules and generalizations.

For whom is the O.G. approach appropriate?
The O.G. approach is appropriate for classrooms, small groups and teaching individuals; primary, elementary, intermediate, secondary, college, and adults. This class is designed specifically for kindergarten, primary, elementary & middle school classroom teachers, tutors, reading specialists, special ed teachers and home-school parents .

Multisensory:
O.G. teaching sessions are action oriented with auditory, visual, and kinesthetic elements reinforcing each other; spelling is simultaneously taught with reading.

Structured, Sequential, Cumulative:
Teaching proceeds from phonemic awareness, phonics, syllable types, syllable division rules, spelling, vocabulary, sentence structure, composition, and reading comprehension. 

Data Driven, Flexible, Cognitive:
O.G. is data driven, diagnostic-prescriptive teaching at it's best. The teacher designs and implements lessons based on the data gathered from the individual student and/or the classroom group.  The instruction is targeted at the needs of the students and paced to insure the level of mastery that supports ongoing success for all students.  Further, the method includes targeted interventions for students who require more repetitions or intensity. The teacher always seeks to understand how an individual learns and devises appropriate teaching strategies using students' strengths, while accommodating their weaknesses.
