A multisensory, structured language instructional approach intended primarily for use with individuals who have difficulty with reading, spelling, and writing due to dyslexia or other language-based learning disabilities. It was developed by Dr. Samuel T. Orton and educator/psychologist Anna Gillingham. This methodology utilizes phonetics and emphasizes incorporation of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning. Instruction focuses on the structure of language and provides students with immediate feedback and a logical sequence of skills that integrates reading, writing, and spelling. Wilson programs are based on OG principles. See Structured Literacy.
