Growing up I believed that the main reason to go to school, was for recess. I never felt I was good at math and while reading, I would get lost half way through the page. I wish I had been introduced to both the Orton-Gillingham way of learning and to the Montessori method when I was young. Orton-Gillingham empowers dyslexic , ADHD, struggling readers, and seamlessly integrates with Montessori ELA curriculum. Montessori math materials are simple a way for children to put their hands on numbers. This material is designed for struggling students and diverse learners. Being a mom to 4 amazing children, I saw how they all learned differently. From high readers, to one that just always struggled, my children had different ways of learning and Montessori provided a pathway to follow each of their needs. I want all children to be able to learn in the way that “makes sense” to them and for them to feel successful!
