OrtonGillingham is a structured approach that breaks reading and spelling down into smaller skills involving letters and sounds and builds on these skills. We are very excited to announce this incredible opportunity for live teacher training sessions at the beautiful Le Jardin Campus offered by Lori Shikuma, M.S.Ed., F/OGA, C-SLDS/IDA. It’s VERY RARE to have in-person Orton-Gillingham training here in Hawaii! Please register ASAP and reserve your spot.
