For more than 66 years teacher (regular education, special education, ELL, reading, speech/language, and Title 1), paraprofessionals, home educators, parents, and even grandparents have taken our training courses, which are designed to help those who struggle unexpectedly learning to read, write, and spell.
The Orton-Gillingham Approach, as taught by highly qualified Reading Center instructors, employs comprehensive, scientifically based reading instruction. During the Institutes, participants will learn the approach, the structure of the English language,and apply what's been learned by planning and teaching actual lessons. The training is intense but extremely valuable and life changing. Allow time in your schedule for a training of this magnitude.
Many trainees enroll in our courses to work with Reading Center students. If you would like to discuss employment with The Reading Center, please contact Fay Van Vliet, Director of Programs, at fvanvliet@thereadingcenter.org or at 507-288-5271.
