Literacy Tutor Training: Orton-Gillingham Approach Level 1 - Kindergarten Literacy

Category

Orton-Gillingham is literacy instruction for everyone. It is a curriculum designed by a neurologist and a linguist using a trauma-informed perspective and multi-sensory learning tools.

Learn skills that can be applied in a classroom setting or with one-to-one instruction. These techniques will prepare teachers, tutors, educators, and parents to help anyone who struggles with reading and writing.

Level 1 explores Kindergarten literacy with a focus on:

  • phonemic awareness (where is the sound: beginning, middle, end; orally blending sounds to make words; etc)
  • vowel/consonant distinction
  • single consonant, short vowel, and final/initial blends
  • syllables/syllabication (closed syllables, rabbit division)
  • the affix tree
  • what is a sentence?

Erin J. Bauman, the Om Work Guru, will help participants engage with the Orton-Gillingham material and gain an understanding of how to transfer their knowledge to students (individually or in a group) in a fun way that is effective for every type of learner. Each workshop/course includes a discussion of how to approach literacy from a trauma-informed perspective and incorporates executive functioning skills into each literacy lesson.
