OG for Tweens & Teens

This workshop equips Orton-Gillingham (OG) practitioners with practical, age-appropriate strategies to deliver structured literacy using the OG approach to older students (grades 4–12). Participants will learn how to maintain fidelity to OG principles while adapting instruction to meet the developmental, academic, and emotional needs of adolescents.

Here is an outline of what will be addressed:

Understanding Older Struggling Readers (not closing the gap but narrowing the gap)
Adapting the OG Approach for Older Students (adhering to OG principles)
High-Impact Instructional Practices (skills to prioritize)
Engagement & Student Buy-In (age-appropriate materials)
Assessment & Instructional Planning (teach to mastery and not pacing)
Vocabulary & Language Development (moving beyond basic words)
Reading & Fluency Development (when to shift from decodable to authentic text)
Writing and sentence-level instruction (types of clauses)
Sample VCCV lesson walkthrough (adapting key lesson components)
Advanced concepts for older students (accenting and morphology)
Q & A

Resources will be included.

If you are unable to attend, you will receive access to the recording.
