I highly recommend the OG Associate Level Training offered by Two Rivers Literacy! This virtual training is both in-depth and accessible. Both instructors did an outstanding job of presenting the material to participants from a variety of backgrounds. If you work with struggling readers and you are looking for training that leads to certification from the Orton-Gillingham Academy, this is a fantastic option.

Working with Lorri has been an outstanding experience for our 4th grade child with dyslexia and ADHD. She is a talented and experienced educator and the structured content and techniques she uses are more engaging and effective compared to other more general supportive tutoring we tried In the past. We’ve seen great progress through the year, progressing multiple grade levels in reading. The 1:1 work has really made the difference in helping our child achieve their potential with confidence.

Lorri Bradford and Laurie Cousseau provided an in depth study in the Orton-Gillingham approach. All materials were supplied, including Laurie Cousseau’s published materials. A great continuation of the Classroom Educator level with a deeper dive into word origins, lesson development and readings to help broaden a participant’s knowledge of dyslexia and the reading brain. Highly recommend if you work with individuals with reading deficits!!!

Lorri is wonderful. She helped my dyslexic daughter become a fluent reader without her ever feeling diminished. She looked forward to her time with Ms. Lorri each week and now cites her confidently when she knows the answer to a reading question, “well, ms. Lorri says…” As a parent, I could not ask for more-she is a passionate and knowledgeable educator and easy to work with. If you can work with her, do it!
