Potential article topic: History/development of the Orton-Gillingham Method

This topic idea came from the Wikipedia article Orton-Gillingham. The article touched on the methods creation but did not go in depth. It discusses how to implement Orton-Gillingham but no the specific ways that education systems incorporate it into classrooms to teach children with dyslexia.

Critique of the article:

- The article is relevant to the topic but contains base level information on its development and creation.

- The content in the article is all written without the use of biased language

- The article contains multiple long quotes which could be exchanged for a paraphrase or taken out entirely.

- All information is cited accordingly

- Some of the references are from newspaper sources which may not be very reliable for information.

- The article is covering a topic relating to individuals who have dyslexia and it touches on their access to a literacy education method which works best for them.
