The Perfect Word, developed by Sarah Rideout, is an invaluable resource for educators preparing for Orton-Gillingham (OG) training or those who have already completed it. One of the challenges of OG lesson planning is that there is no pre-written teacher script—each lesson must be carefully designed with the perfect set of words to meet a student’s individual instructional needs.

Instead of searching through multiple resources or endlessly Googling, The Perfect Word puts thousands of words right at your fingertips. Inside, you’ll find systematically organized word lists covering digraphs, trigraphs, spelling generalizations, word families, basic long vowel spellings, all syllable types, syllable division patterns, and common prefixes and suffixes—all aligned with a suggested scope and sequence. Every word “plays fair” based on the skills you have previously taught, making lesson creation more efficient and effective.

Simplify your lesson planning and ensure your students receive structured, high-quality instruction. Get The Perfect Wordtoday and make finding the right words effortless!
