Structured Literacy in Kindergarten?
Watch this webinar (courtesy of ONBIDA - the Ontario branch of the IDA) to hear Emily Moorehead (K teacher near Kingston, ON) explain practical strategies for implementing Structured Literacy in play-based and inquiry-based Kindergarten classrooms. Emily has done 3 workshops for ONBIDA - all excellent! And FREE!
This is my company, and I offer regular/ongoing INTRO to Orton-Gillingham-based Structured Literacy courses (8-hour intensives) to help educators gain and overview of these approaches, including many practical strategies that can be implemented immediately. I also provide consultations with administrators, teachers, and families.

I received my training from the Scottish Rite Learning Centre in Barrie, Ontario under the supervision of Evelyn Reiss, Fellow of the Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators.
When I was in my training, I had the great pleasure of taking a course in advanced morphology from Ron Yoshimoto, also a fellow of the Academy. It was outstanding. I can only imagine what I would learn in 5 days.

This is where I started my Orton-Gillingham training. The Scottish Rite Learning Centres for Children offer FREE tutoring for children who have been diagnosed with dyslexia-related learning disabilities. The centres are run by volunteers, and they are always looking for volunteer tutors, so if you would like to volunteer at one of these centres, it is a great way to receive Orton-Gillingham training. They have nine centres across Canada.
FREE series of webinars from prominent experts in this field. I have viewed several of these webinars and learned so much.
