Edward Orton-Gillingham (EOG) is an educational institution founded by Ann Edward. They focus on education and training to assist children, especially those experiencing language-based learning difficulties like dyslexia. They employ an effective educational method called "Orton-Gillingham," which incorporates sensory-based teaching (visual, auditory, and tactile). In addition to training for educators, parents, and educational professionals, EOG has also created an application called the "Blending Board." This application is a game that applies the Orton-Gillingham approach to help children learn to read and spell in a fun way. The application is specifically designed to aid children with language-based learning difficulties in achieving literacy success.
Literacy issues in children with language-based learning difficulties.
The issues identified by Edward Orton-Gillingham (EOG) that drove the creation of the Blending Board Game for children, especially those with dyslexia, are as follows:
Difficulty in Reading and Spelling
Children with dyslexia often face challenges in reading and spelling words correctly due to their struggles in connecting sounds with specific letters.Trouble Blending Sounds
They frequently encounter difficulties in blending letter sounds into meaningful words.Limitations of Traditional Methods
Traditional learning methods are sometimes not effective enough for children with dyslexia to grasp and practice sound blending skills.Lack of Interest and Motivation
Some children lose interest and motivation in learning to read and write because of the difficulties they experience.Decreased Self-Confidence
Difficulties in reading and spelling also impact children’s self-confidence, making them hesitant to engage in literacy-related activities.
The goals that Edward Orton-Gillingham (EOG) aims to achieve through the creation of the Blending Board application are as follows:
- “Professional Development & Support In the Orton-Gillingham Approach”
- "Support for Dyslexic Children"
- "High-Quality Resources"
- "Individualized Adaptations"
- "Direct Feedback"
- "Enjoyable Learning Experience"
- "Multisensory Practice to Enhance Multisensory Engagement"
