Great question! I am a highly trained Og practitioner with over 10,000 hours of tutoring hours under my belt. I started my journey over 20 years ago with Sonday System training and then went on to OG training through Orton Gillingham of Minnesota; I received all four levels of training that were offered at the time. I then began working at Orton Gillingham Reading Specialists and was mentored by Karen Sonday, Fellow OGA, and her mother, Arlene Sonday, Founding President of OGA. Students and teachers thoroughly test my games for playability and fun! The teaching materials are all edited by a Fellow before release. 

Thanks for asking! All of my products are printed in the USA! I knew it was a risk, but it was important to keep my production local. This added to the expense. If you are in the lower 48, you don’t pay any shipping, so it’s a win-win! 

Recently I was asked to join an OG training team. Since that is time-consuming, I am taking a little break from tutoring; I would be happy to send you some recommendations of great tutors if you message me!

These books are designed for early readers, but many folks have been telling me students of all ages enjoy these adorable bugs' tactics.

My books follow the short vowel introduction of a, i, o, u, and e, with all consonants. All books are primarily CVC, with a handful of irregular words and a few fizzle/floss words tossed in when needed.

My games cover all levels of reading acquisition. Prereader games include shapes, colors, and letters for names or sounds. Emerging readers focus on CVC games to blends and -ck. Higher-level games challenge students with multisyllabic words and morphology. All of the games touch on some aspect of Phonological Awareness.
