Associate Level Training
​
This 70 hour course is designed to train teachers, therapists, and those interested in the evidence-based, scientifically researched approach that is Orton Gillingham. This approach is good for all but essential for those who struggle to read, write and spell, especially those with language-based learning differences like dyslexia. The course includes classroom instruction, videos, hands-on activities, student observations, lesson planning, material creation, readings, quizzes, and a final exam. Participants will be provided with the components of the Orton-Gillingham approach as well as learn the basic phonetic/linguistic structures of English. This course addresses the “Big Five” of phonemic awareness, phonics instruction, vocabulary instruction, fluency, and text comprehension.
​
The course registration includes the practicum. The supervised practicum is a minimum of 100 hours over an eight month period with ten Fellow observations. The practicum is required for the Associate level certification through the OGA.
