Though often touted primarily as an instructional method for children with dyslexia and other learning challenges, the OG approach helps make reading and spelling easy for <span class=\"italic\">all<\/span> children.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Who Were Orton and Gillingham?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Dr. Samuel T. Orton (1879-1948) was a pioneer in the study and understanding of dyslexia. He studied numerous children with language processing issues and eventually developed teaching principles designed to help these children learn language more effectively. One of Dr. Orton\u2019s students, Anna Gillingham (1878-1963), further developed Orton\u2019s ideas and eventually combined his teaching methods with her own understanding of language structure. The first Orton-Gillingham manual was published in 1935.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>Why Does the Orton-Gillingham Approach Work?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>The Orton-Gillingham approach helps take the mystery out of reading and spelling by focusing on why words are spelled the way they are. Though the English language contains just 26 letters, these letters combine to create approximately 44 speech sounds, and there are over 250 ways to spell those sounds. But the OG approach translates the spelling of these sounds into <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/phonograms\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">phonograms<\/a> and demystifies reading and spelling by teaching students to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/category\/spelling-rules\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">apply rules<\/a> and generalizations that help make what was once difficult <span class=\"italic\">much<\/span> easier!

Read on!<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2>What Are the Key Features and Benefits of the OG Approach?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<ol class=\"large aalp-blue\">\r\n\r\n<li><h3>Multisensory<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Orton-Gillingham-1-Multisensory-170x167.png\" width=\"170\" class=\"right\" alt=\"Multisensory\" \/><p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/spelling-multisensory\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Multisensory instruction<\/a> is the hallmark of the Orton-Gillingham approach. This technique focuses on the idea that when children learn through three major pathways to the brain\u2014visual, auditory, and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/kinesthetic-learning\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">kinesthetic<\/a>\u2014they learn more than when they are taught through only one pathway. But the real power comes when you <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/multisensory\/#SMI-METHOD\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">engage the senses of sight, sound, and touch <span class=\"italic\">all within the same lesson<\/span><\/a>. So with the OG approach, you don't have to figure out if your child has a particular learning preference because all three pathways are already built in to every lesson.<\/p><\/li>\r\n\r\n<li><h3>Sequential<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Orton-Gillingham-2-Sequential-170x144.png\" width=\"170\" class=\"right\" alt=\"Sequential\" \/><p>When instruction is sequential, lessons are presented in a <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/spelling-logical\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">logical<\/a>, well-planned sequence. This sequence allows children to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/making-connections\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">make easy connections<\/a> between what they already know and what they are currently learning\u2013an important step in achieving long-term learning. And that makes learning a rewarding experience for your child.<\/p><\/li>\r\n\r\n<li><h3>Incremental<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Orton-Gillingham-3-Incremental-170x160.png\" width=\"170\" class=\"right\" alt=\"Incremental\" \/><p>With incremental instruction, each lesson builds carefully upon the previous lesson. This helps your child move smoothly and naturally from simple concepts to more complex ones, ensuring that there are <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/the-no-gaps-approach\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">no gaps in his learning<\/a>. It\u2019s a lot like climbing a ladder: when lessons are incremental, each rung of the ladder helps your child get closer to the goal of reading and spelling. Even students who have experienced failure with other programs can learn to read and spell with this approach.<\/p><\/li>\r\n\r\n<li><h3>Cumulative<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Orton-Gillingham-4-Cumulative-170x138.png\" width=\"170\" class=\"right\" alt=\"Cumulative\" \/><p>Two of the most important components of cumulative learning are mastery and constant and consistent review of previously taught skills. When instruction is cumulative, students master one concept before moving on to a more advanced concept. Those concepts are further reinforced with review that is integrated into every lesson. The goal of <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/mastery\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">mastery<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/category\/review\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">review<\/a> is to make sure that the brain permanently stores, manages, and retrieves information for later use; in short, to achieve learning that \u201csticks.\u201d When a concept is learned and mastered, the goal of long-term learning has been reached.<\/p><\/li>\r\n\r\n<li><h3>Individualized<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Orton-Gillingham-5-Individualized-170x138.png\" width=\"170\" class=\"right\" alt=\"Individualized\" \/><p>Because everyone learns differently, the Orton-Gillingham approach is always <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/customize-reading-spelling\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">concerned with the needs of the individual<\/a>. Anna Gillingham once said, \u201cGo as fast as you can, but as slow as you must.\u201d Curriculum that follows this approach makes it <span class=\"italic\">easy<\/span> for you to teach to your child\u2019s individual strengths while at the same time respecting the child\u2019s pace. Consequently, this approach works for <span class=\"italic\">all<\/span> ages\u2014beginning readers, intermediate students, teens, and adults.<\/p><\/li>\r\n\r\n<li><h3>Based on Phonograms<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Orton-Gillingham-6-Phonograms-170x115.png\" width=\"170\" class=\"right\" alt=\"Based on Phonograms\" \/><p>The Orton-Gillingham approach simplifies the English language by focusing on <span class=\"italic\">why<\/span> words are spelled the way they are. By teaching the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutlearningpress.com\/phonograms\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">phonograms<\/a> and the rules and patterns that spell the vast majority of English words, the OG approach takes the guesswork out of reading and spelling. When a student has a working knowledge of the phonograms and their sounds, reading and spelling are much easier. In fact, even children with reading disorders like dyslexia can <span class=\"italic\">overcome<\/span> the language processing issues associated with these disorders.<\/p><\/li>\r\n\r\n<li><h3>Explicit<\/h3>\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Orton-Gillingham-7-Explicit-170x146.png\" width=\"170\" class=\"right\" alt=\"Explicit\" \/><p>In an Orton-Gillingham reading or spelling program, students are taught exactly what they need to know in a clear and straightforward manner. Students know what they are learning and why they\u2019re learning it. This direct instructional approach helps children master skills and gain confidence. When instruction is explicit, there is <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.allaboutlearningpress.com\/break-the-word-guessing-habit\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">no guessing<\/a>, no ambiguity, and no confusion.<\/p><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutlearningpress.com\/all-about-reading\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><cite>All About Reading<\/cite><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutlearningpress.com\/all-about-spelling\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><cite>All About Spelling<\/cite><\/a> make it easy to use the Orton-Gillingham approach to teach reading and spelling.
