Orton Gillingham Certified Training K-5 Teachers

Jersey City Public Schools seeks to offer teachers in grades K-5 training in Orton-Gillingham (OG) . This approach is a structured, multisensory, and phonetic method for teaching reading, writing, and spelling, designed primarily for students with dyslexia or learning difficulties. Developed in the 1930s, it breaks literacy into small, manageable components, using visual, auditory, and kinesthetic techniques (like writing in sand or tapping sounds) to improve memory and engagement.
