Through shared expertise, in partnership between Marburn Academy and Sensible Learning, this 70-hour training provides a foundation in structured, multisensory language instruction. Designed to prepare educators for effective one-to-one or small group instruction, the course blends Orton-Gillingham Academy's (OGA) principles with current research-based practices to equip trainees with strategies that support students who learn differently.

Through interactive lessons, participants strengthen their knowledge of:

• Dyslexia Understanding

• Phonological Awareness

• Syllable Types, and Division Patterns

• Spelling Generalization

• The Structure of the English Language

• Morphology

Beyond the theory, this course emphasizes application. Trainees gain practical experience in interpreting assessments, planning lessons, and delivering diagnostic, individualized instruction that meets each student's needs.
