Planning Orton-Gillingham Lessons (VIDEO)

Lesson planning can sometimes take longer than the actual lesson itself.

What should always be included?
What parts can rotate in and out?
How much is too much for one session?
And what happens when the lesson you planned suddenly changes halfway through review?

In this video, I walk through practical ideas for organizing Orton-Gillingham and structured literacy lessons in a way that feels connected, manageable, and realistic for actual teaching.

We cover:

• lesson structure
• review
• dictation
• oral reading
• pacing
• introducing new concepts
• helping lessons flow together naturally
