"The OG method, combined with our amazing tutor, has been instrumental in our child’s growth in reading! It has been wonderful to see Frieda's confidence grow as she learns something new every day and loves doing so." -OGMN June Reading Camp Parent

OGMN would like to congratulate these amazing educators who dedicated two weeks and countless hours to learn the "What" and the "How" of the Science of Reading! Orton-Gillingham is making structured literacy possible by equipping educators with the background knowledge, tools, and instructional practices that ensure every child has access to literacy!

The start of our Introductory Course and OGMN Reading Camp has been remarkable! We're inspired by the enthusiasm of our adult participants and the progress of our students in reading and spelling. With technology on our side, we're reaching 24 children and making a true difference in their literacy skills.
