What is the Orton-Gillingham Language Approach?

The Orton-Gillingham Language Approach is an evidence-based, structured literacy approach that teaches reading, spelling and writing using explicit, sequential and multisensory instruction. Originally developed to support individuals with dyslexia, it is now widely used to help learners of all ages build strong literacy skills. The approach focuses on understanding how the English language works, giving educators practical strategies to support confident, successful readers and writers.
