GRANADA– The Granada-Huntley- East Chain School Board met on Thursday night to approve items such as the Orton-Gillingham training, raising the custodian sub-pay to $15 per hour, and approved contracts to three long-term substitute teachers.
Orton-Gillingham is a teaching approach specifically designed to help struggling readers by explicitly teaching the connections between letters and sounds. It was created to be a multisensory approach to teaching reading. It works on the building blocks of learning how to read and Superintendent Doug Storbeck wants to build those foundational skills starting in kindergarten so that kids will enjoy reading.
“I really want to build a culture where students want to read,” Storbeck said. “I feel like if they have good skills that they will like to read. I think that’s true in everything we do at life is if we’re good at something we will enjoy it more.
