Shannon is a 2nd grade teacher in an Atlanta-area public school, and she attended the REAP Orton-Gillingham training course. Shannon made this video to tell us how Orton-Gillingham has helped her students.
Shannon’s favorite thing about Orton-Gillingham is the spelling rules. She teaches her students a new O-G spelling rule every week. “They’re remembering the rules because they make sense and they’re easy for the kids to remember.” Not only are the students learning the rules, they’re also learning how to incorporate them in everyday work. “They’re applying them in their reading every single day. They’re applying them in their writing.”
To sum it up, Shannon says, “It’s kind of all-around absolutely incredible to see!”
