The O-G Approach & Structured Word Inquiry

Suitable for use by educators, tutors, parents, and professionals involved in general education,
special education, resource, tutoring, and home school programs.  It can be used with all ages.

 

 

O-G uses DIRECT INSTRUCTION with explanations of WHAT is to be learned, WHY it is to be learned, and HOW it is to be learned.

Instruction follows the LOGICAL ORDER of the English language – beginning with the most basic elements and moving to more complex material.

Instruction employs ALL LEARNING PATHWAYS (seeing, hearing, feeling, and awareness of motion) SIMULTANEOUSLY in order to enhance memory and learning.

Concepts are SYSTEMATICALLY REVIEWED and PRACTICED UNTIL MASTERED and new material is layered upon and CONNECTED to what has been previously learned.

Reading, writing, and spelling are INTEGRATED.

Teaching plans are INDIVIDUALIZED and based on careful continuous ASSESSMENT of each student’s needs.
