I will absolutely buy this the second it comes out!

We are just going to have to agree to disagree. I’m not sure how you think IDA Ontario is the problem here. Without them we have zero organizations promoting structured literacy. How is less advocacy more helpful?

I work with many kids with dyslexia and I don’t know any parents who oppose IDA Ontario. They are the only Ontario organization providing structured literacy resources. Do I wish every teacher could be OG trained? Yes. Is that feasible right now? No.

I don’t know why you think every single ONlit resource must include all of the elements of structured literacy. I think Onlit’s goal is to create helpful resources for teachers to use. They are not pretending OG training/other structured literacy training isn’t beneficial for teachers to take.

I really don’t understand your comment. There is nothing in the course that I took that does not fall under the Knowledge and Practice Standards. I am Orton-Gillingham Associate level trained, and I fully support IDA Ontario’s services. They are helping a lot of teacher and students.

YES. Circe is unbelievable. Song of Achilles is wonderful, too.

I always loved Prince Caspian!

Isn’t it amazing? My students were the exact same…they became obsessed with looking up words in our word origins dictionary and they would hunt for morphemes in books so they could add them to our morphology wall!

I did my OG training with her, too! She’s so great!

I’ve done the Reading Simplified Academy and I agree that it’s got some great activities! Thanks for the suggestion :)
