From "The Orton-Gillingham Approach to Reading and Writing" by All About Learning Press
1. Multisensory: Lessons involve all the major pathways to the brain: visual, auditory, kinesthetic.
2. Sequential: Concepts are taught in a logical, well-planned sequence.
3. Incremental: Each lesson carefully builds upon the previous lesson.
4. Cumulative: Constant and consistent review of previously taught concepts is provided.
5. Individualized: The unique needs of each student are met.
6. Based on Phonograms: English is simplified by teaching letters and letter combinations known as phonograms.
7. Explicit: Students are taught exactly what they need to know in a clear and straightforward manner.
