Leadership Training
Angela Hanlin

Are your teachers prepared to help every child reach grade-level reading? We recommend Angela Hanlin's training, based on experience. Unless school leadership understands the issue, is fully involved, and actively supports the solution, the number of students reading at grade level will not improve.

​Evidence-Based Method

The Orton-Gillingham Academy training enables practitioners to become experts, evaluate, and teach directly to students' skill weaknesses speeding up remediation. All districts should lead with an expert instructor, who should then set goals and oversee lesson plans and progress monitoring for other instructors. Then, there are many different evidence-based programs; here is a list recommended by the NYS Dyslexia & Dysgraphia Task Force.
