The August 29 Orton-Gillingham Subscriber Course sold out! In response, Swift School Orton-Gillingham Fellow Natalie Felix will offer the course again on Saturday, October 17.
This 6-hour course is an introduction to the instructional approach used daily in Swift's classrooms. It represents the first level of study in the Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators and includes an overview of the OG Approach and instructional techniques.
Felix highly recommends this course for Swift parents. "While succeeding with dyslexia has nothing to do with intelligence, it has everything to do with proper instruction," says Felix. "That instruction is called the Orton-Gillingham Approach. When a parent deepens their understanding of how their child is being taught, that strengthens the parent/teacher/school partnership, which in turn helps the student reach their potential."
Join Natalie—expert OG educator, passionate advocate for children with language-based learning differences, and mother to a dyslexic son—for this enlightening course.
