Program
The Orton Gillingham Program (Orton-Gillingham Derived) System offered at The Port Hope Learning Centre, is an explicit, teacher-led, science-based, research-based and multisensory method of retraining the brain to enable students with reading difficulties to overcome them. It is grounded in the teaching of phonemes as a first step before introducing phonics. Within the space of 24, one-hour sessions a pre-speller shows a grade level of improvement and can usually achieve his/her own grade level of reading fluency within 3-6 months of training.
