For decades, the late Dr. Fran Bowman taught, tested, advised, and advocated for students with learning differences. She also trained thousands of teachers and parents to help dyslexic students learn to read using her Orton-Gillingham-based Orton-Gillingham “Plus” program. As a certified Special Education teacher and parent of dyslexic children, I am proud to call her my mentor and to carry on her legacy of supporting students with dyslexia through her proven strategies.
Trusted for over 30 years, school systems, teachers, and families have relied on Bowman’s Orton-Gillingham “Plus” for highly engaging and evidence-based structured literacy training. Bowman Orton-Gillingham “ Plus” a structured literacy program based on the original Orton-Gillingham approach. Traditional Orton Gillingham is a multi-sensory approach to reading that helps students connect sounds to letters. Dr Fran Bowman’s program uses aspects of Orton-Gillingham in combination with phonological awareness — the capacity to recognize and apply sounds in spoken language — and fluency training, the aptitude to read quickly and accurately.
