Decoding Errors

A self-paced, use-it-when-you-need-it guide for fixing 25 of the most common decoding errors so you always know what to say, what it means, and what to teach next.

Start Correcting Errors the Right Way

 You care deeply about your students.

You've done the training, read the books, and you know that good teaching isn't just following a curriculum. 

It's about knowing what to do in the moment.

 

 But when a student makes an error while reading aloud, something shifts and you feel…

 ⓧ Frustrated your grad program didn’t prepare you for this.

ⓧ Embarrassed when you don’t know what to say in front of your students.

ⓧ Anxious when an admin walks in during reading time.

ⓧ Guilty when a student shuts down—and you don’t know how to help.

ⓧ Tired of Googling “how to fix reading errors” and hoping for the best.

Here’s the truth that no one wants to admit:
   
Even the best teachers can feel like they’re failing when they don’t know how to fix a simple reading error.

And that’s where I come in.

This exact moment—the “Oh no, what do I say now?” panic—is what I’ve helped hundreds of Orton Gillingham trainees and educators learn to navigate with confidence. And now, I’ve packaged everything into one easy-to-use resource just for you.

"I have seen tremendous growth in all the students that I work with this year. I am positive this is because of my work with Pryor."

-Maria DeFrank, 3rd grade ICR teacher

Wouldn’t it be great if by this time next week/month… 

☑️ A student made a decoding error during small group time and instead of freezing or fumbling, you calmly gave them a cue that actually worked… and saw their eyes light up when they got it right.

☑️  Your administrator popped into your room during reading time and for once, you felt proud of how you responded to errors, not secretly panicked they might notice you were guessing. 

☑️ You didn’t dread reading groups anymore because you finally had a toolbox of prompts, strategies, and follow-ups that helped your students move forward instead of circling the same errors.

☑️ A student’s parent asked how reading was going and instead of giving a vague answer, you shared the real progress their child was making (because of your teaching).

☑️ You left school on a Friday without needing to spend your weekend Googling “how to fix vowel team errors” or downloading another pile of PDFs that don’t explain what to do with them.

If you’ve ever wished someone would just tell you exactly what to say when a student makes a reading error— and explain what it actually means so it doesn’t keep happening — you’re in the right place. 

Most trainings cover what to teach. Some go deep into the theory.

But very few — if any — show you exactly how to respond in the moment… and then what to teach next.

That’s why this is the FIRST resource of its kind:

A practical, pick-up-and-use guide that gives you real classroom strategies, modeled responses, and zero-prep tools for 25 of the most common decoding errors. 

 It’s the difference between memorizing road rules for your written driver’s permit test… and actually knowing what to do behind the wheel during your on-the-road driving test.

🛞

When you’re in the driver’s seat or sitting across from a student mid-reading error, you need more than memorized facts.

You need real, in-the-moment experience.

And that’s exactly what The Orton Gillingham Answer Key:
Decoding Errors gives you.

This isn’t another course you’ll buy and forget about. It’s a searchable, pick-and-choose resource you’ll come back to again and again whenever a student makes a reading error that leaves you thinking, “Wait… what do I even say here?”

 

Whether you’re mid-lesson with a student who’s guessing at words, or reviewing a group’s reading and realize something isn’t sticking, this is your go-to support system.

 

Each module includes:

A short video modeling exactly what to say and do when a student makes a specific decoding error.

 A second video walking you through what the error really means and how to teach the skill behind it.

Zero-prep frameworks with visual cheat sheets, and ready-to-use worksheets you can use right away again and again.

This isn’t a one-time workshop. It’s a forever resource.

You’ll use it this week with one student, next month with another, and five years from now when the same error pops up again in a different form. Because every class, every year, will bring students who need these specific supports and now, you’ll be ready.

It’s like having an OG expert in your corner (without the $2,000+ price tag).

It’s not a theory course.

It’s not something you need to complete front-to-back before it becomes useful.

And it’s not another binder collecting dust.

 

It’s real-life, plug-and-play strategies for teachers who need answers now.

It’s the kind of guide I wish I had when I was in the classroom—practical, compassionate, and made for real teachers who are doing their best and want to feel confident now.

"Pryor is always supportive and understanding, and is able to take a "mistake" and give feedback that points you in the right direction without a note of negativity. Her instruction is definitely emotionally sound! Her instruction is very effective because she has extensive knowledge of how to teach reading and she knows exactly how to explain the tough bits.

If you are feeling overwhelmed or experiencing frustration and doubt, this will help you because everything is so incredibly organized and Pryor really sets you up for step-by-step success. "

"The student I worked with made HUGE gains! He's my rock star this year because he solidified so many skills and the structure from last year. 

All educators would benefit from working with Pryor and would walk away with skills they could immediately implement to improve their practices.

If you are feeling frustrated with curriculums or working with children who are having difficulty reading, this will help you because you will leave with strategies to finally help students learn to read."

Hi, I’m Pryor Rayburn.

You might know me as Orton Gillingham Mama. But more importantly, I am a lifelong educator who has been in your shoes.

For over 20 years, I have worked as a classroom teacher, reading specialist, Orton Gillingham tutor, and school director. Today, I train educators across the country as a Fellow in Training with the Orton Gillingham Academy—and I’ve helped hundreds of teachers just like you feel more confident when a student struggles to read.

But even with all my experience, I’ll never forget those early moments sitting across from a student who just guessed at a word… skipped a suffix… froze at a vowel team…

And I didn’t know what to say next.

That feeling of panic? The fear you’re making it worse? The pressure to look like you know what you’re doing?

I’ve felt all of it.

Because most trainings tell you what to teach but almost none of them show you how to help your students in the moment they need you most.

That’s why I created The Orton Gillingham Answer Key: Decoding Errors—a pick-up-and-use guide to help you respond in real time when a student makes a reading error, understand what that error actually means, and know exactly what to do next to prevent it from happening again.

If you’ve ever sat across from a struggling reader and wished someone would just tell you what to say and what to teach next… this is that resource.

Whether you are in year one or year twenty, you deserve tools that work with your curriculum—not against it—and that finally bridge the gap between theory and real-life instruction.

 Still Have Questions?
Let’s Talk Through Them.

“I want this… but money is tight.”

Answer: I get it. I’ve been a classroom teacher on a budget, too. And here’s what I want you to know:


This course is a fraction of the cost of formal Orton Gillingham training or a single $250+ feedback session with a Fellow in Training like me. But it gives you access to the same practical guidance I share with my practicum students every week.


This isn’t a giant theory course you’ll never finish. It’s a lifelong toolbox you’ll use over and over again—for this student, this year… and the next 10+ years to come.
In short: It’s built to pay for itself in your peace of mind (and your students’ progress).

“I don’t have time for another training right now.”

Answer: The beauty of this course? You don’t have to “complete” it in order to use it.


This isn’t a 40-hour program you have to work through linearly. It’s like an encyclopedia—flip to the page (or module!) you need when a student makes a specific reading error… and walk away with an action plan in under 10 minutes.


Even better: everything is organized by error and clearly labeled, so you’ll always know where to go next. No hunting. No fluff. Just answers, fast.

“Will this work with my curriculum?”

Answer: Yes! One of the best things about this resource is that it’s program-agnostic—which means it works with any reading curriculum you’re already using.


You don’t need to toss out what you’ve got. These strategies plug right in and help you get more out of the lessons, passages, and phonics routines you’re already teaching.

“What if I’m the only one who feels stuck?”

Answer: You’re not. This course was created because so many smart, compassionate educators like you feel left behind by their training.


This isn’t about what you should already know. It’s about finally getting the missing piece you were never given: a trusted, judgment-free guide for what to do in the moment when a student makes an error—and how to make sure it doesn’t keep happening.
