3. History of Orton-Gillingham
Developed and utilized since
Dr. Samuel T. Orton (neurologist) and Anna Gillingham (educator) at New York Neurological Institute
Multi-Sensory approach to Literacy (IMSE : Institute for Multi-Sensory Education)
Relies on Direct Instruction of fundamental structures – Reading, Writing, and Comprehension
Mutlisensory, Systematic, Sequential, Cumulative and constant Review of skills (Reciprocal Spiral always reviewing previous skills taught)
5 Part Lesson is presented using visual, auditory and kinesthetic pathways
Historic Belief Foundation:
Designed to capitalize on understanding of language that beginning readers need to develop important literacy skills

5. Research
Early Identification and intervention is the key in helping students learn to read.
74% of students who are poor readers in 3rd grade, remain that way without intense interventions IMSE
70% of learners obtain knowledge with implicit learning, however 30% of learners obtain knowledge with explicit learning IMSE
US Department of Education, dyslexia accounts for about 85% of all learning disabilities.

7. How Orton Gillingham Connects with Students Abilities
Autism: Repetitive, routine and sensory exposures
Deaf-blindness: multiple modality instructional delivery
Deafness and Hearing Impaired: Tactile exposures delivered in every lesson
Emotionally Disturbed: Consistently encourages positive interpersonal connections with peers and teachers, predictable routines, and expectations are clear
Intellectually Delayed: Delivers instructions at a rate that is encouraging to academic ability
Orthopedic Impairments: Geared to specific movements that, along side your PT/OT consult, will be adaptable to student success

8. Speech/Language Impairment: Oral and auditory everyday, special attention is given to the sounds produced by each individual sound
TBI: Design will attain focus on memory, attention, problem-solving
Learning Disability: Increases visual, hearing, and tactile exposure through direct instruction. Utilizes oral expression, writing and fluency daily.
Gifted: Program is designed to take etymology as far as students will go. Delving into Latin, Greek, and Anglo-Saxon roots

9. Beliefs of the National Reading Panel
For children to become good readers they must articulate:
Phonemic awareness – ability to manipulate the sounds that make up spoken languages.
Phonics – the understanding that there are relationships between letters and sounds
Fluency – reading with accuracy, speed, and expression
Application – of reading comprehension strategies to enhance understanding and enjoyment of what they read.
