Orton Gillingham: The Best Approach For Treating Children With Dyslexia In NJ


Orton-Gillingham approach has been found as the best method in NJ for teaching children with Dyslexia. It helps the students to learn reading and spellings easily.

It teaches students how to decode or break the words into syllables that makes easier for them to read and spell the word. It helps in developing and automaticity and fluency at the word level.

Orton Gillingham approach comes with certain instructions:

Explicit: It teaches the rules and patterns of decoding and encoding of words openly. It is necessary to teach the students with dyslexia about every rule and pattern directly and also the exceptions related to them.

Systematic and Structured: It is the process of  introducing of an information in an ordered way that helps in showing the relationship between the lessons taught before and the new material being taught. Thus Orton Gillingham approach in NJ introduces the new concepts, in the same way, every time.  This makes it easy for them to figure out new methods and also helps them in focusing and learning every new concept taught.

Sequential and Cumulative: It includes a simple method of teaching specific steps and tells all the rules one by one, thus increasing the complexity of the task slowly. Every step is to build from the previous step.

Multisensory: Maximum senses should be used at the same time in order to help the information to be stored in long-term memory.

Individualized: Orton Gillingham approach uses the specific technique and program but a student with dyslexia should move through the program with swiftness to develop fluency and automaticity for each step of the program. Students will only move to the next step if they build fluency for each level of language skills.

Diagnostic and Prescriptive: The teacher analyzes the student performance regularly to build a strategy necessary to move the student forward in the next lesson.
