Greenhills Is Different … Greenhills is Best! The Orton-Gillingham Approach which is used at Greenhills is the gold standard for dyslexic language remediation. The original Orton-Gillingham teaching is an approach, not a program. It is an approach because it is flexible and can be adapted individually for each small group or individual's needs, strengths and weaknesses. A great variety of readers and materials are available for use with teaching each phoneme. Other programs which are derivations of the Orton-Gillingham lack some elements of the original. In order to read cursive, dyslexic students must learn to write cursive. Later, when the cursive letter shape is locked into muscle memory then dyslexic students may use manuscript for speed of writing, if they choose. Greenhills uses Wilson Anderson's Language Series for middle and high school students. This integrated program of Latin and Greek prefixes, roots, and suffixes is comprehensive. Many exercises and sentences are available for usage and mastery of the English syllables which were originally Latin and Greek words. Orton-Gillingham, students interact with the sounds (phonemes) and symbols (alphabet) of the English language orally and in writing, and by reading aloud themselves in books with a controlled vocabulary. |
