Some of the links in the lessons don’t work. What should I do?
We are aware that some of the links in the lessons do not work. The Academy of Orton-Gillingham Practitioners and Educators is working on updating the content of this course some time this year. In the meantime, we suggest that you continue through the lesson as best as you can.

I just printed out my screen and noticed some of the content was omitted between pages. What can I do about this?
Unlike pages generated in traditional word processing programs, a web page can have an indefinite length. Because of this, a printer can have difficulty defining page breaks. This is the primary reason why text can be lost between printed web pages. If this continues to happen, select the desired text, copy it, paste it into a word processing document, and print it from there.

What should I do if I cannot print the lesson material?
First try printing a page from another site. If you are unable to print a page from another site, check your printer and/or printer settings. If you are able to print a page from another site, try printing the lesson material using the browser's Print button ( File » Print from your menu bar), or right-click on the actual web page and choose "Print" from the menu that appears. You may also try copying the desired lesson material into a word processing document (see previous question).

Do you save my responses to the lesson questions?
No, we do not save your responses to the lesson questions.
