Orton-Gillingham Skill-Based Reading Room

Funded Dec 15, 2022

I am an Orton Gillingham Academy Associate and a Special Education teacher. I work with students with special needs who are also dyslexic. My students have a great deal of difficulty reading the "average" book.

I teach my students to read with one skill at a time. Often times the books available for the general education student are too difficult for students with these specific reading difficulties because they combine skills at many different levels. Using books in a classroom library can get frustrating to them.

The books you have provided for me in my classroom are leveled so that my students are able to read. They have walked through my door and have been so excited to see books on my shelf that THEY CAN READ! It has been wonderful to give them the opportunity to hold books in their hands and READ!

I cannot thank you enough for helping me to start to build my classroom library!”

With gratitude,
