The Essential Set of
Orton-Gillingham
Instructor Forms

Dear Educator,
Thank you for your purchase! When I first started my OrtonGillingham training, I wished there were certain forms created
so that I could have them all in one file, print them out and be
ready to go. This product is a comprehensive set of materials
that you can use to organize your OG sessions and make them
engaging.
Here are some tips:
• Create binder with tabbed sections for the calendar,
assessment notes, lesson planners and generic sheets.
• Make multiple copies of the student recording sheets and
store them in a pocket folder in the binder.
• Use the blank word cards for writing words for a particular
lesson or for a word sort. Once you write on them, you can
play a game of Concentration with them.
• Laminate all the mini posters, CLOVER sign, S.O.S. cards,
and games. You can display them, put them in their own
binder, or put them on a metal ring as a flip reference
chart.
• Use the sorting pages for reviewing old word lists.
• Use the games for reviewing words, and sentences from
previous lists.
As a purchaser, you’ll be able to download updates to this
product, free of charge. Just go into “My Purchases” and you’ll
see when I update the file.
Feel free to email me at theliteracynest@gmail.com if you any
questions or suggestions.
Your feedback means a lot to me! Please make that you
leave me feedback after you have had a chance to review
and/or use this product. Follow my blog to read about OG!

S.O.S. or Simultaneous Oral Spelling is a
6–step, multisensory spelling strategy .
Visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning
modalities are all engaged, making this an
effective brain- based method for spelling
words. It is typically used during an Orton
Gillingham lesson, but may be incorporated
into any word study class.
You may use it in a dictation lesson. I
recommend copying the task cards onto
cardstock, laminating, punching holes in each
card, and hanging them on a metal ring. A
recording sheet is provided as well.
