Thanks to the Lutheran Association for Special Education for inviting me back to present another workshop on Orton-Gillingham. We spent the afternoon taking an indepth look at syllables and syllable structure from an Orton-Gillingham focus. After learning more about how to approach teaching the concepts, everyone got to practice with hands-on activities in phonemic awareness, visual and blending drills and applying those same structures and concepts to spelling. Hopefully everyone found something to take back and try with their students!
