This milestone is pivotal to GRACEPOINT’s ongoing mission to equip dyslexic students with the skills needed to become independent and confident learners.
The Orton-Gillingham (OG) Approach is a direct, explicit, multisensory, structured, sequential, diagnostic, and prescriptive way to teach literacy when reading, writing, and spelling does not come easily to individuals, such as those with dyslexia. All academic teachers at GRACEPOINT are trained as OG Classroom Educators. Teachers are observed and accessed throughout the year by an OG Fellow, the highest level of practitioner in the Academy.
“To have your OG instruction endorsed by the Academy is such a high honor,” shared Joy Wood, GRACEPOINT Head of School. “I am very proud of the teachers and staff at GRACEPOINT that are so dedicated to restoring hope to the brilliant dyslexic minds we serve each day.”
