The Montessori Language curriculum provides a rich and deep learning experience that meets the needs of most typically-developing children; but what about the estimated 1 in 5 children who need more? Catherine will give an overview of the Orton-Gillingham Approach and its compatibility with the Montessori approach to Language Development. She will give an outline of how Montessori and OG Approaches together can support the writing and reading development of children with Dyslexia and demonstrate a couple of multisensory OG exercises that benefit these children.
