MSLE Strategies: Tips and Tricks from an O-G Toolbox

Have you ever wondered about the difference between a digraph and a diphthong? Have you struggled to explain to your students when and why c says /k/ or when it says /s/? Are you able to clearly convey when the vowel will be making its short sound and when it will be saying it's name?

Our "Lunch and Learn" workshops are an opportunity to have our Orton-Gillingham Trainers come to your school and offer a workshop during the school's lunch hour.  These brief, targeted workshops offer hands-on strategies to educators in a school without having to schedule time outside of the regular school day.  Comprehensive handouts are included in each session which allow each teacher to bring the new information back into their classroom and easily implement what they have learned.  Some topics include:

Multisensory Strategies for Teaching Penmanship
Alphabet Awareness Skills
Teaching Non-phonetic Words
Blending Skills for Emergent Readers
Explicit, Multisensory Teaching of Spelling Rules
Fun and Games to Reinforce Spelling Rules
Ratios and Comparing Multiple Spelling Choices
