Riverside School

The Orton-Gillingham Approach to Teaching Reading and Spelling through Riverside School’s 60-hour  Associate Class for Winter 2022 meets the OGA standards. We are looking to form a diverse class of curious and motivated learners who can prioritize the rigorous demands of the class and whose primary goal is to gain knowledge and skill for teaching those with dyslexia.

This class does not certify you, but it provides all 60 hours of coursework required for Associate Level OGA certification. At the end of the course, individuals interested in pursuing Associate Level Certification with the Academy and who need the 100-hour practicum are welcome to interview for our limited Associate Practicum spots which lead to certification.

Practicum: After completing all 60 hours of coursework, individuals interested in pursuing Associate Level Certification with the Academy may contact Cynthia Davis, Riverside School’s Fellow of Record, for her availability to supervise the 100-hour, 8 to 12-month Associate Practicum required for certification. Normally the cost of this practicum is covered by tutoring fees paid by the family of the practicum student.
