Structured Language: Making Your Way through the Maze

Emphasis is placed on specific sequences of skills using such methods as those demonstrated in Project Read, Orton-Gillingham, and the Wilson Reading System®. Participants learn how to embed sound articulation and developmental spelling activities into instruction. Orton-Gillingham phonogram cards are included and will be used daily.
