Recommended Orton-Gillingham Programs for Dyslexia

In this video, Hillary Laxson will teach us about choosing an OG-based program. This video is to help you not waste your time or money by getting a program that actually works. We also talk about using multiple programs and access to programs in public schools. In our next video, we will cover how to hire a qualified tutor.

Please join Hillary’s Facebook group “The Dyslexia Life”   / thedyslexialife   and subscribe to my channel. Both her page and my channel are for parents of kids with dyslexia.

Orton-Gillingham usually refers to an approach or method, not a particular program. “Structured Literacy” is also commonly used to refer to this type of instruction. (See What Is Structured Literacy?
https://dyslexiaida.org/what-is-struc...)
Since 2014, there is an actual program called “Orton-Gillingham Method.” (Gillingham & Stillman, 2014) https://www.ortonacademy.org/.

The International Dyslexia Association doesn’t have a list of recommended programs on their site. They do mention “Wilson Reading System (Wilson,1988), the Orton-Gillingham method (Gillingham& Stillman, 2014), the Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing Program(LiPS; Lindamood & Lindamood, 1998), and Direct Instruction (e.g., Carnine, Silbert, Kame’enui, & Tarver, 2009), as well as several other approaches (e.g., Birsh & Carreker, 2019).” In this article: “Structured Literacy: An Introductory Guide”

The International Dyslexia Association is also doing reviews of structured literacy software programs. (see Software Instructional Support Review: Virtual Direct Instruction for Students With Dyslexia https://dyslexiaida.org/software-inst...)

The LDA (Learning Disabilities Association of America) lists 12 recommended multisensory structured language programs in this article. Barton, Wilson, Lindamood-bell, and Orton-Gillingham Method are included in the list.
