3.0 out of 5 stars
An outdated classic,
By James A (Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Gillingham Manual: Remedial Training for Students With Specific Disability in Reading, Spelling, and Penmanship (Hardcover)
Many reading programs for correcting dyslexia are based on the Orton-Gillingham method, which is presented in this book. While the method has been proven clinically and empirically (and I know of people who swear by it in my country), it is now surpassed by newer methods which stem from it. Arguably, learning letter names and memorizing rules are some of the main drawbacks in this program. What makes this book money's worth is the systematic presentation of spelling patterns and generalizations.

The Gold Standard,
By
This review is from: The Gillingham Manual: Remedial Training for Students With Specific Disability in Reading, Spelling, and Penmanship (Hardcover)
This is the gold standard for MSL language instruction, the classic, far from "surpassed," but it is not for amateurs. To be used in conjunction with a training course by a certified trainer, and followed by supervised practicum.

Elizabeth,
This review is from: The Gillingham Manual: Remedial Training for Students With Specific Disability in Reading, Spelling, and Penmanship (Hardcover)
While Gillingham and Stillman were certainly early pioneers
in dyslexia, their work could be seen to be dated, as they have been dead for almost fifty years. It is not their fault that much more is known now about dyslexia than when they were alive, but it does make them dated and in some cases potentially damaging if their theories are not applied together with more modern knowledge. This is not a question of being an "amateur" or not, but simply having knowledge that extends beyond Gillingham Stillman. Unfortunately, much Orton Gillingham training in the US seems to regard external interests and knowledge from trainees as a threat, and claims to be the only effective program, despite many students making little progress on unmodified Orton Gillingham. I would only use this manual with together with the understanding gained from modern research.
