"I wish to effectively express how crucial this class, and Sarah Rideout's instruction, were to both informing and reshaping my perspective on the state of (il)literacy in the United States, as well as what we can do as educators to remedy the crisis. There is life before Orton-Gillingham and life after you are exposed to the facts of current academic instruction in comparison with OG's methodology. Sarah Rideout is as engaging as she is competent in leading learners through the OG approach, which was especially appreciated during the class periods with denser information. The material can be overwhelming at first, but Sarah helps you feel supported and confident you will be able to teach it, too. If you are unsure which OG course to sign up for, I was relieved in the first hour on the first day I selected RIE Training, and that sentiment never changed."

What is the difference between Classroom Educator and Associate?

The Classroom Educator level is a 35 hour training that focuses on the fundamental principles of the OG approach. Participants will engage in understanding the characteristics of the dyslexic learner as well as learn about specific strategies, procedures, and lesson planning for teaching those whom reading and spelling does not come easy. This training primarily prepares participants to provide and adapt literacy instruction for the whole class or for small groups needing supplemental support  in a general education setting. Students with greater deficits in reading will need more intensive instruction delivered by a practitioner trained at the Associate level or above. The Classroom Educator course is a stand alone course. CE coursework hours do no apply toward Associate Level training.

The Associate level is a 70 hour course that also covers all fundamental principles, strategies, and procedures of the OG approach. Additionally, in this course, participants are able to take a deeper dive into systematic and explicit instruction with vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, morphology, and more. This training is intended for practitioners working with struggling readers of all ages, including those with dyslexia, in individual or group settings. The Associate practitioner is not certified to provide OGA training or supervision.
