So, what is this "OG" I am hearing about?

"OG" refers to Orton Gillingham.

Orton-Gillingham is a teaching approach designed to help children, especially those with dyslexia, learn how to read and write. It’s based on the idea that everyone learns differently, so it uses a multisensory method, meaning it engages sight, sound, and touch.

Here’s how it works:

1. **Structured and Systematic**: Lessons are organized in a logical sequence, gradually building from simple to more complex concepts.

2. **Multisensory Learning**: Kids use various senses to learn. For example, they might trace letters in sand while saying the sounds, which helps reinforce their understanding.

3. **Individualized Instruction**: Each child gets tailored lessons that fit their unique learning style and pace, making it more effective for them.

4. **Emphasis on Phonics**: It focuses heavily on phonics, teaching kids how letters and sounds work together, which is essential for reading.

Overall, Orton-Gillingham is about making reading accessible and enjoyable for every child, helping them gain confidence and skills at their own pace. If you have any specific questions about how it might work for your child, feel free to ask!
