This multisensory PDF document is designed to support student development of concepts and vocabulary. Please check the Table of Contents highlighted in the Preview section of this resource. The activities in this multisensory resource can take a few days, based on student ability to complete. Check out the directions to identify differentiation suggestions so all students can participate based on their specific needs.
This resource to support my students using vocabulary that is created using prefixes, suffixes and roots; Latin and Greek connectives; spelling rules and generalizations, along with phonograms - vowels, both short and long; vowel teams; vowel diphthongs, consonant blends, consonant digraphs; words and vowels that are "schwaed," and words from Megawords2(R), Students in need of additional application practice to internalize the skills have benefited from this multisensory workbook styled resource.
Students love the spinner and feel proud because some are able to independently "run" the game with classmates. This increase in independence really builds confidence, while still learning. A WIN WIN!
What is also great about this multisensory resource is students can work with a partner, in a small group, or participate in a class activity with teacher modeling. The "game" format provides a fun method to internalize the specific skills of words presented. Skills include prefixes, suffixes, phonograms (i. e., consonant blends, ending blends, vowel sounds).
What is nice about this activity is the kids have fun while learning!
Teachers/parents need to print out the "spinner and wheel" and using a paper clasp, insert the spinner arrow to the wheel. If possible, please laminate for increased flexibility with the arrow moving around the wheel.

Students in a high school setting reading Oedipus used this multisensory study guide to support and develop comprehension. Classified students greatly benefit when they completed the areas of the study guide. This is an interactive study guide where students determine specific areas/skills they need to develop.
This multisensory study guide is great for students receiving in class support services through special education, students with 504 plans and English Language Learners.

Story Elements: Part One
https://www.tes.com/us/teacher-lessons/know-the-code-story-elements-part-one-11173336
This resource supports learners using a multisensory approach . Students in high school often provide a definition of story elements but are unable to identify within a story. Students need to move beyond the “surface definitions” and apply story elements. This multisensory resource offers the basic information and interconnects practice and application.
Know the Code: Parts of Speech - Noun
https://www.tes.com/us/teacher-lessons/know-the-code-parts-of-speech-noun-11168901
A multisensory approach to support student internalization of the part of speech – noun. While many believe students can identify and locate nouns in sentences, the reality is students are not always efficient. A challenge for students is in the identification of concepts/ideas, which are part of a noun description. Unfortunately, when students identify nouns, what it being is a basic note) “…people, places and things….” Students should be able to state “people, places, things and concepts/ideas.” A review of this bundle will highlight opportunities to support student development. Parents and teachers can select specific activities based on student need. Writing activities are included. Comprehension skills improve when students understand parts of speech within written text. Why? Students can locate the core elements in a sentence – the subject- a noun and verb. . Identification of the main subject (noun) and verb in complex sentences is critical to writing.

Looking for a model of a short story plot triangle model for your students? Would any of your students benefit from having a graphic organizer of a short story plot triangle? Would you like to save time reinventing "the short story plot triangle" for every short story discussed? This resource uses the Most Dangerous Game, a classic suspense short story read in so many middle and high schools. Teach the short story triangle using The Most Dangerous Game. Students read the story, learn about the specific aspects of a short story plot triangle, and then can independently use the information in this resource for additional short stories comprehension!
The second file contains the actual text of the short story, The Most Dangerous Game. Since this classic suspense fictional short story is available online for free, I downloaded, formatted so students can annotate and have an easier time reading the text. The price of this multisensory resource if for the power point only - the story is free and available by "googling "free text of The Most Dangerous Game." It is my hope that providing it would save you time!
Additional strategies are included to support student development beyond the short story triangle such as a K-W-L graphic organizer, and a mini lesson on what strategies are and why strategies are important for readers to use when reading. For many students, unless explicitly explains and discussed, the connection is not made and students may continue to struggle year after year due to their uncertainty of what the literacy elements are to the short story triangle!

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 lesson focuses on a multisensory approach, repetition, review, sequential focus on spelling rules/generalization skill building for optimum student development and practice using multisensory strategies. It is important each student has time and opportunities to process skills to automaticity. Using a game style activity one of the method is one method to learn.
One folder has the playing cards with 45 (X 2 for matching game cards) game cards. Teachers can make this a learning center activity.
The other folder is a version in power point format that contains all of the slides used for the game cards, plus additional student activities to develop the separate spelling rules and generalizations.
Those particular rules and generalizations include:
plural -s
plural -es
"fszl"
"-ck"
"-tch"
"dge"
"age"
Doubling Rule
E Rule
Change Y Rule
Optional Use: There are "wild cards" - students can change rule (if they turned over a different rule, so they have a "second chance" at getting a matched pair with another opportunity to turn over another card.
Optional: Lose a Turn cards
TEACHERS: You can determine the amount of rules to allow students to use. Remember there are 90 cards with the ten spelling rules/generalizations, young students developing visual memory will do better with less cards.But, as students's skills increase, consider increasing the number of rules/generalizations to include.
This concentration game is useful for single players, partners or small groups.
This bundle is priced affordably. Copying or sharing is dishonesat; please encourage individuals to purchase their own copy.
Does your school district want to order and create a purchase order? There is the option of a purchase order! Just email me for any questions or requests!

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 multisensory resource is part of a presentation for teachers and other adults looking to increase their knowledge to support students, young, teenagers and adults with reading and writing difficulties.
There are many teachers and parents willing to work to support struggling readers but lacking the materials and "know how!"
This is a packet that includes four mini lessons per grade level, beginning at kindergarten through sixth grade. Lessons include a focus on: vowel sounds; syllable type; syllabication; spelling rule/generalization; and prefixes, suffixes (grades 2 onward); reading fluency practice and writing. Each lesson includes the writing pages for student to write the dictated words you provide (included in each lesson) and for writing their own "personal sentences.
If you are interested in the higher grades revisit this shop again mid-May for the higher grades.
Please email me if you are interested in hosting a training at your school or organization.
If you would like to see a sample of a lesson, email me and I will forward to you for review.
