The Gillingham Manual & Materials Remedial Training for Children with Specific Disability in Reading, Spelling, and Penmanship by Anna Gillingham, Bessie W. Stillman Ungraded
For over 50 years, the Orton-Gillingham approach has been the most crucial and significant reading intervention designed specifically for children and adults with dyslexia and other reading difficulties. Based on the extensive research of neurologist Dr. Samuel Orton and teacher Anna Gillingham, the Orton-Gillingham approach uses visual, auditory, and kinesthetic associations to help students learn sound-symbol relationships.
The Orton-Gillingham approach is extremely flexible. It is used in schools, language clinics, and tutoring centers around the world. Reading specialists and special education teachers often use Orton-Gillingham in small group or one-on-one tutoring situations. This multisensory reading intervention is an unsurpassed tool for preventing and remediating reading difficulties.

It is recommended that teachers receive training before implementing the Orton-Gillingham approach. For more training information, visit www.ortonacademy.org.
