I taught in the elementary school classroom, I was a tutor in a school setting, a private Orton Gillingham tutor, and the Director of the Learning Resource Center at an elementary school. I am currently a language coach and Fellow in Training through the Orton Gillingham Academy.
I make my lessons fun and engaging without losing the Orton principles and Structured Literacy approach. All of my materials on TPT are designed with a systematic, cognitive, multi-sensory approach to learning.
Yet to be added
I have a BA from Davidson College and a Masters in Special Education. I completed both the associate level and certified level Orton Gillingham training through OGA. I am a Fellow-in-Training (OGA), a Certified Academic Language Therapist (ALTA), and a certified academic language practitioner (IDA).
I am the former president of the board of the NC International Dyslexia Association. My mission in my TPT store is to provide quality Orton materials to educators around the world. A portion of every sale on my site goes to the International Dyslexia Association for the research of and spreading awareness of dyslexia. Follow me on Instagram @ortongillinghammama
