Focuses on the principles and fundamentals of the Orton-Gillingham Approach
Practicum Programs
At ReadSource, our practicum programs offer educators the opportunity to gain practical, hands-on experience with the Orton-Gillingham Approach at the Classroom Educator, Associate, and Certified Levels through the Orton-Gillingham Academy (OGA).
These programs are designed to help participants refine their instructional techniques and deepen their understanding of how to effectively teach students with dyslexia and other reading challenges.
Through supervised mentorship and real-world application, educators develop the skills needed to deliver individualized and impactful instruction. To learn more about the practicum requirements and membership levels, please visit the Orton-Gillingham Academy's website.
