Orton Gillingham (OG) Tutoring
What is Orton Gillingham (OG) Tutoring?
The Orton Gillingham approach (also known as OG) is a science-based, multi-sensory phonics technique that helps children learn to read. As a long standing and well-researched approach to teaching, it is often recommended for children with Learning Differences (such as dyslexia) that make reading a challenge.
