What is the Orton Gillingham Approach?
The Orton-Gillingham is a structured approach to teaching reading and writing that is particularly effective for individuals with dyslexia and other learning differences. Developed by Dr. Samuel Orton and Anna Gillingham, this is based on the science of how the brain processes language. It emphasizes a multisensory experience, integrating visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles to enhance understanding and retention. Instruction is systematic and sequential, focusing on phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Through personalized lessons, the Orton-Gillingham method aims to build confidence and competence in learners, equipping them with essential skills for successful literacy development.
What is LETRS?
LETRS, which stands for Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling, is a professional development program designed to enhance educators' understanding of reading instruction, particularly in phonics and decoding skills.
It provides teachers with research-based strategies and tools to effectively teach literacy to students of all ages. Focusing on the science of reading, LETRS equips educators with knowledge about language structure, the cognitive processes involved in learning to read, and effective assessment techniques.
By promoting a solid foundation in literacy practices, LETRS aims to improve student outcomes and foster a deeper appreciation for the complexities of reading and writing.
