Exceptional Literacy Professional Development For Teachers
Evidence-Based Strategies That Stick in the Classroom
You’ve invested in training. You’ve rolled out new programs. You’ve told your teachers, “This is the year we focus on structured literacy.”
And yet…
▶ Teachers are overwhelmed. They’re trying their best but feel unsure how to support struggling readers—and they're running out of strategies.
▶ Instructional Coaches are exhausted from trying to translate theory into practice—again.
▶ Principals and District Leaders are juggling compliance demands, frustrated parents, and initiatives that don’t always stick.
▶ Students (especially those with dyslexia) are still behind, and no one’s quite sure how to catch them up.
It’s not a motivation or staffing problem. It’s a systems problem, and the solution is clear: science-backed training that actually works in the classroom.
Our Literacy PD Trainings and Services
You don’t need another theory-heavy webinar or a binder of strategies no one uses. You need professional development that meets your educators where they are—with practical, structured literacy tools they can apply right away.
We make structured literacy approachable. Our professional development services help your team build the skills, habits, and confidence they need to support every reader—starting now.
OGA Associate Level Certification Training
Give your staff the structured literacy foundation they’ve been missing.
This 70-hour, Orton-Gillingham Academy–approved course combines online and in-person instruction led by Fellows-In-Training.
OGA Associate Level Practicum
Turn training into confident, consistent practice.
After completing the 70-hour course, you will participate in a supervised practicum that consists of one hundred 1:1 lessons with at least 10 observations over the course of 8+ executive months—getting the expert feedback and support they need to build fluency in structured literacy instruction.
Literacy Coaching
Because knowing the method isn’t the same as using it well.
Our one-on-one and group coaching gives educators real-time support, troubleshooting, and clarity around what’s working—and what’s not.

High-impact PD—without the fluff.
Our literacy workshops are focused training sessions designed to strengthen your staff’s understanding of essential structured literacy topics. There are no prerequisites—just ready-to-use instructions led by experienced professionals.
OG Skill Sessions
Targeted instruction and coaching support practitioners right where they are.
Engaging, hands-on workshops designed to support educators, families, and practitioners in their understanding and implementation of structured literacy. Our sessions are rooted in research, informed by practice, and focused on empowering participants with practical tools and strategies.
