Orton-Gillingham Associate Level Training
Become a Specialist in Teaching Struggling Readers and Students with Dyslexia
Some students don’t struggle because they aren’t trying.
They struggle because they were never taught in a way their brain can learn to read.
They guess at words.
They memorize instead of decode.
They avoid reading whenever possible.
And most teachers were never trained in how to help them.
Orton-Gillingham changes that.
The Associate Level Orton-Gillingham Training prepares educators to provide structured, diagnostic reading instruction for students who struggle to read—including students with dyslexia.
This training goes far beyond phonics programs or scripted interventions. You will learn how to analyze student errors, design targeted lessons, and deliver structured literacy instruction that actually works.
