If you’ve taught syllable types and syllable division, you’ve probably come across consonant-LE words like table, little, and puzzle. These are a different type of syllable division than students are used to because the final -le doesn’t follow what we typically think of as a syllable. The good news is that consonant+LE words follow a…
If you’ve been teaching syllable types, you already know about open and closed syllables. Now we’re going to borrow those same ideas to talk about prefixes. A prefix is a word part added to the beginning of another word. It changes the meaning of the base word. Think about these: Once students begin recognizing prefixes,…
Vowel Team Generalizations are taught for students to know the sounds and placement of OI/OY, OU/OW, AU/AW in words.
Create Orton Gillingham lesson plans for students in any setting.
Most tutors and teachers using the Orton-Gillingham approach have at least one student (or ten!) who confuses b and d. It’s common!

What is the 3 Part Drill in Structured Literacy? A Simple Explanation and scripts for teaching students.
The Three-Part Drill is a key component of Orton-Gillingham lessons. It’s a multi-sensory practice that helps students become automatic with the sounds, symbols, and spellings of the English language.
Hint: Not as much as you think. While teaching Orton-Gillingham (OG), I often come across other approaches like the Science of Reading, LETRS, and IMSE. At first, I wondered: Are these all different programs? Do I need to learn them all? But once I began digging into the details, I realized something important—they’re all speaking…
Teachings vary on when beginning accenting is taught. If a student is advanced enough, accenting can start with RABBIT Words, because that’s when we begin teaching multisyllabic words in Orton-Gillingham. Certainly, by the time we arrive at VCV Words on the Scope and Sequence, accenting should be introduced. When students understand where the stress falls…
