What participants are saying about EOG courses:

"As a parent of a child who has faced significant challenges in reading, finding effective support and resources has been a constant struggle. That was until I discovered the Edwards Orton-Gillingham Training Course. This course has been a revelation, not just for my child, but for our entire family. Prior to taking this course, I felt overwhelmed and unequipped to assist my child in their reading journey. The Edwards Orton-Gillingham course changed that. It provided me with a comprehensive understanding of the complexities of reading and equipped me with practical, evidence-based strategies to support my child's learning needs. It has empowered me as a parent and has set my child on a path to reading success. I highly recommend this course to any parent who is looking for effective, compassionate, and practical ways to support a struggling reader."

Mrs. Ramos, Parent and Advocate

"EOG training was not just about learning new techniques; it was a deep dive into understanding the science of reading. It challenged my preconceptions and equipped me with a robust toolkit to approach reading instruction. The practical and engaging sessions allowed me to experience the approach as both a teacher and a learner, providing invaluable insights into how students might feel during the learning process."

Mr. Bello, Reading Interventionist

"This course wasn't just educational; it was a lifeline. It bridged the gap between my theoretical knowledge and the practical skills I desperately needed. The training delved deeply into understanding the complexities of reading challenges and offered me a structured approach to literacy education. I learned about multisensory techniques, individualized instruction, and how to foster an environment where every student feels seen and supported in their learning journey."

Ms. Hagen, 2nd Grade ICT Teacher

"Before the EOG training, I felt there was a gap in my teaching practice, especially in teaching foundational skills in literacy. The course helped me better understand the research that informs best practices in literacy education. It presented a wealth of knowledge on how children learn to read and write and the importance of a systematic, explicit approach to teaching these skills. After utilizing the approach with my students, I see that it not only benefits those who might struggle with reading but also enhances the literacy learning experience for all students."

Mrs. Ingravalo, Kindergarten General Education Teacher

"As a teacher with 25 years of experience in the classroom, I've seen and participated in numerous professional development programs. However, none have been as transformative and impactful as the Edwards Orton-Gillingham Training Course. This program has completely revolutionized my perspective on reading education and the construction of both classroom and small group lessons."

Ms. Potter, 1st Grade ICT Teacher
