Funding this professional development will allow me to have the skills and materials to support the diverse learners in my classroom. The Orton-Gillingham program uses a multi-sensory approach to support learners who need additional instruction in the areas of reading, writing, and spelling. Students work one-on-one or in a small group to develop the foundational skills that are needed to support their phonemic and phonological awareness. Students learn spelling rules and patterns using a hands-on and interactive learning approach.
I have seen students' confidence increase after being part of this program. As a teacher, I want be able to provide the knowledge and tools for all learners in the classroom.
