The Comprehensive Training provides participants with an in-depth understanding of IMSE's Orton-Gillingham methodology over the course of 30 hours. This course is a more traditional OG approach that focuses primarily on phonological awareness and phonics (along with encoding/decoding). Participants will also discuss how to teach fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension using the OG philosophy of multi-sensory, sequential, direct instruction. This approach can be incorporated into an already existing literacy program as well as stand-alone.

Participants will learn:
How to administer IMSE informal criterion-referenced assessments
Phonological awareness assessment and strategies
Multi-sensory strategies for reading, writing and spelling phonetic and non-phonetic words
Seven syllable types and 4 syllable patterns for encoding/decoding
Explicit, multi-sensory strategies for teaching fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension
Guidelines for weekly lesson plans
