Orton-Gillingham: Red Words

  • “Orton-Gillingham red words are those words that cannot be sounded out phonetically and do not follow any particular phonemic rules... For students to read fluently, they need to be able to recognize and read sight words quickly since these words make up about 50% of the words they will encounter when reading a story... [They are taught] using a multi-sensory approach.”
