A lot of people have been asking about how to effectively teach online in a multi-sensory manner and preserve most of what the Orton-Gillingham Approach seeks to accomplish. So, we have put together a FREE (yep! No strings attached, nothing to sell) webinar that specifically addresses online tutoring using the Orton-Gillingham Approach. A special thanks to Karen Leopold, Keely Rincon, Lynn Lamping and Diane Mayer who have helped contribute to this webinar by providing their time, ideas, content, reviews and listening to me talk about how passionate I am in getting this out there so we can continue to provide our students the assistance they need with the quality they deserve.
The webinar shows how we tutor online successfully using our technology toolkit and the Orton-Gillingham Approach. It has 4 sections and is about 2 hours long. It is absolutely free but is password protected to protect from spammers and manage site traffic. Please contact us if you do not have a password to access this video. Please be sure to include an email address where we can send you the password. As a reminder – This is our contribution back to the teaching community and we will never charge for, sell within or block access to this webinar. Just reach out to us using the link above and we will gladly provide you the password!
The video includes a 45-minute live demonstration of a lesson using the technology toolkit that we use with our students. The example lesson template used in the live demonstration is available for download as an additional resource by clicking here. As a side note, this is a mixed slide deck with template slides for older and younger students. Thus, this does not represent a single, cohesive lesson for one student’s session.
In addition to this video, I recently published an article in the Winter/Spring 2020 newsletter of the OGA. That article is available below.
We hope that this video and the article and sample slide templates in this post are useful to you. There are so many effective ways that teachers are using to tutor online. The way demonstrated here is one of the many ways to do it and is no way representing the best way to do it. We encourage all educators to use what works best for them and more importantly, their students.
