Fun and Games Workshop
May 12th, 2007
Join us for a three hour workshop of fun as we explore a variety of interactive games and activities designed to support the teaching and learning of phonograms, spelling rules and syllables in an Orton-Gillingham lesson. Each participant will go home with over 20 ready to use games and activities that will surely add new intrigue to any lesson plan and that can be taken away and played during your next O-G lesson. All games have been carefully developed with the Orton-Gillingham lesson plan in mind.

Comments from previous Fun and Games workshop participants:
"Wonderful ideas! It's great to have some ready-to-use games. It was also good to have a range from short vowels up to more advanced. Thanks!"

"I really got a lot out of this workshop. Having the props and the directions written down for us meant we could focus on what you were doing and really enjoy ourselves. You presented the material in such a "fun" way. Thank you very much!"

"This was wonderful and I will use so much on Monday, Tuesday and... I can use every piece! Thank you."

Begin the process of writing as soon as students learn to read words.
