This is a great multisensory game to support students with sight words that include the letters O U G H. PLEASE NOTE: All ways of saying the ough are intermingled, not separated This is not a lesson on different sounds made by OUGH. The focus for this activity is to develop the skill to spell words with OUGH. There is an expression used O - U - Grumpy Horse) to support student recall when supporting words that include this group of letters:
"O U Grumpy Horse"
Many students continue to struggle spelling words that include ough.; and the words are included in this game.
By putting the words together under the category of O U G H, with a visual of a grumpy horse, students should increase ability to recall quicker and eventually internalize how to spell, and recognize when the words are read using a multisensory game approach!
Page 1 -Title page
Page 2- Directions and materials
Pages 3 - 18 Student game boards
Page 19 - Master list of words
Pages 20 - 23 - All words that are part of the bingo game (will need to be separated prior to playing game)
Students thoroughly enjoy this game.
Using OUGH Bingo, students can:
Students can write words in sentences
Students can alphabetize words - a great way to focus in on specific letter sequence
Students can orally provide a sentence to the group after identification of the word.
All of the words have ough ; ought as part of their spelling makeup. If students can visualize or group these challenging words, both decoding (reading) and encoding (writing) will improve.
I have documented growth on the part of students using this game. It is my hope you experience the same results. If you have questions, please just email me...
Thank you.

This multisensory PDF resource , based on Orton Gillingham principles focuses on the consonant digraph "wh" that typically is presented last of the "H" brothers: sh, ch, th and wh.
"Wh" words are typically introduced to students through the question words: why, when, what, which, and who, during the early school years of up to grade 2. However, students may not understand that "wh" is actually a consonant digraph, and need specific and direct instruction to gain this knowledge.
Another reason that "wh" is typically presented as the last of the "H" brothers is because the words that include "wh" include higher level skills such as vowel consonant e words and words with vowel diphthongs, another higher level skill.
The "Wh" lesson unit includes:
Information page for teachers and parents
Suggested Skill Presentation Script to support Adults presentation to students
Multisensory Introductory lesson
Phonemic Awareness Activity
Word list (use only words students can identify based on their skill level)
Reading fluency practice using phrases
Controlled reading of sentences to develop reading fluency
Word Search - OPTIONAL Activity - This activity is only for students who like to do this type of activity. Students with visual and processing difficulties may become very frustrated so please be guided according to the needs of your student.
Memory development for word retrieval of either other consonant digraphs and selected short vowels.
Answer Keys for words search and possible words to provide students with difficulty retrieving words of the specific skills presented.

Are you looking for a multisensory based lesson to support student learning of compound words beyond the basics? Did you know there are three types of compound words; or that usually the first word in a compound word is the one that is accented or stressed? Students that have difficulty learning to read compound words need to know the nuances. For example, did you know the three types of compound words are closed compound, open compound and hyphenated compound words. For students with dyslexia or other language based challenges, this type of information may be the final pieces to understanding and internalizing compound words.
This lesson is really one for any grade level above 2nd grade. If a student has missed learning opportunities due to environmental, medical or emotional challenges, the skill can be presented. Please select only the activities relevant to their skill needs.
Overall, this Orton Gillingham Based resource includes a multitude of skills development :
Writing development and strategies
Working and long-term memory development
Visual memory
Word retrieval
Processing speed
Accent - were does the accent belong?
Three types of compound words
Vocabulary

This is a very useful multisensory PDF resource. This multisensory lesson focuses on open syllables using the principles of Orton Gillingham. This resource can be a follow up lesson after teaching closed syllable type (most common syllable type). There is a script to present this lesson; and the script includes a review of closed syllables. There is additional practice for students for more opportunities to develop the skill, identification of open syllables.
Are you a parent looking for a multisensory resource to support your child's reading skills development. Or, if you are a teacher looking to support students in your class and want to teach your students about the different syllable types so they can independently read unknown words with open syllables. Please review the other syllable resources available in my shop. Email me if you would like more information at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com . It would be my pleasure to provide academic support.
Why is this an important reading skill? Students who are able to identify the different syllable types are stronger decoders, which leads to stronger reading skills. When students have developed each of the seven syllable type concepts, their reading fluency will typically improve because they are not "stuck" figuring out the words. Rather students have reading strategies to apply to identify unknown one and multisyllabic words.
The multisensory packet on "open syllable" includes:
Informational page
Phonemic Awareness Activity
Script
Practice application activities
Controlled reading - sentences
Writing Activity
Comprehension and internalization of concept
Reading passage

This lesson is based on Orton Gillingham Multisensory Language Development principles.
A sampling of skills developed with this multisensory lesson:
Prefix “mono-“
Vocabulary
Reading comprehension
Reading strategies
Writing activities
Reading fluency
Processing Speed
Working memory
Long term memory
Word Retrieval
Students will develop a stronger vocabulary using a multisensory approach to word meaning.
The prefix mono- means one. The ability to know a prefix's meaning is a major support for students reading words in reading passages in English, science and social studies text books. Struggling readers benefit from knowing the meanings of prefixes like mono-.
This resource focuses on a multitude of skills that many students have not internalized, even though students are higher grade levels. Students in high school level classes have used this lesson and have developed an automaticity of the prefix meaning for mono-, and supports word recognition, stronger reading fluency, and improved comprehension.
Students in middle school, along with gifted students will benefit completing this lesson. However, all students require review and repetition of this prefix. It is important students have time to process these skills.

This PDF is formatted as a multisensory resource based on the Orton Gillingham methodology, for students in middle or high school grades. Roots are a valuable skill to teach students - roots support vocabulary and comprehension development. Why? Roots have meanings, and roots are a layer of our language. Students can use this knowledge to decode words and meanings. When an individual knows a root's meaning, when words encountered have that root, even if the entire word has never been viewed, , the meaning of the word is partially known. This is a great support for student comprehension and fluency.
Vocabulary development using roots is typically a better tool then teaching single words in isolation. If you need additional support, please contact me at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com.

Looking for a well developed "multisensory"PDF packet of activities to develop and internalize the meaning, and much more for the prefix "de-?" This multi-page resource is perfect for teachers and parents looking for meaningful work, with a variety of reading and writing activities. So many resources available for purchases are missing the skill building to develop writing. This resource includes a variety of writing opportunities, along with a user-friendly writer's support chart to help students with working memory, sequential ordering challenges, and language challenges. Pick and choose the skills you would like your student/child to focus on to develop this skill. There is an optional word search included. Please be advised it has been my experience working with students of all grade levels that students either love word searches or detest them. Therefore, please do not use if your student/child have challenges with visual spatial skills. Do not grade students if word searches are a challenge!

This is a PDF formatted multisensory resource based on the Orton Gillingham methodology, for students in middle or high school grades focused on the root "port." . Roots are a very valuable skill to provide students for vocabulary and comprehension development. Why? Roots have meanings, and roots are a distinct layer of our language. Students can use this knowledge to decode words and meanings. When an individual knows a root's meaning, when words encountered have that root, even if not ever viewed before, the meaning of the word is partially known. This is a great support for comprehension and fluency.
Vocabulary development using roots is a better tool then teaching single words in isolation. There is a vocabulary graphic organizer included that is really a powerful multisensory tool to develop vocabulary of the root port. The graphic organizer includes the word, meaning, part of speech, student generated sentences, and the origin of the word. Each of these parts work together to support student vocabulary development.

This is a multisensory lesson for the vowel team: ay.
The multisensory lesson includes the following is based on the principles of Orton Gillingham using multisensory strategies to better develop reading, writing and study skills.
Included in this resource:
Introductory multisensory lesson
Basic word list of "ay" words. This page is for students who are not yet strong as decoders, or have yet to be exposed to vowel teams and vowel diphthongs.
Next level - word list is for students with a higher decoding skills repertoire.
Controlled reading of words with the vowel team "ay." Controlled reading is actually the time for reading fluency practice. 95% accuracy is the overall goal. Controlled reading is to practice skills, not for comprehension. It is beneficial for student to read 3-4 times to develop reading fluency. After that, the usefulness is diminished.
Writing activity to develop sentence writing. This is a great activity to help students develop working memory, processing speed, both critical skills for reading fluency and comprehension.
Oral reading phrase practice
Writing Activity
Box it Activity
ay Word Search This is an optional Activity. Please be aware that there are many students who do not like word searches because of the overload of neurological processes including memory, processing speed, visual memory. So please do not require this activity as a compulsory one. On the flip side of this discussion are the other students who absolutely love word searches. For these students, this is a great activity to internalize the word's spelling because each word requires a significant focus of the letter sounds and sequences. Just please be careful... teacher are great at knowing their students strengths and weaknesses.

This is both a reading and writing resource based on the principles of Orton Gillingham, using multisensory strategies. The point of using the expression "Most Kind Old King" is to help student identify the vowel units. What is important to stress with vowel units "ost, ind, old and ing" is the vowel sound is long, not short.
Additionally, there are writing activities to support writing through the use of writing"trigger" words that support creating a visual in a student's mind that makes writing details easier. The more students write the stronger writing skills become. Too often, when students are struggling readers, the emphasis is placed on decoding and encoding. However, students need to continually write, so the opportunities in this resource are fun. There is a Mr. Potato Head Activity that can be used for young to old. High school students love to create Mr. Potato Heads. If actual Mr. Potato heads are not available, then use the cut outs provided. The cut outs have the website address attached for credit, and to locate in the future.
I hope you find these concepts and activities supportive of your needs for students or your child. Any questions, please just contact me at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com
