Know the Code: Writing a Paragraph

(0)
The Basics of a Paragraph This multisensory lesson is available to support students with writing challenges. Many students, whether classified, or unclassified, struggle with writing. Actually, some students experiences melt downs when required to write, the result of memory and/or processing difficulties. Students benefit from the use of models, examples, and having the writing activity broken down into parts to be successful. Further, this lesson has an editor's check list so students develop writing skills by looking at their writing and classmates from a different perspective. Writing is a process, and students develop skills at different time periods. So, if you want to support writing development, this is a great lesson. Parents can help out at home, and be the "editors" and have conversations to explain their feedback to their child. The packet includes the following: Page 1-Title Page 2 - Informational page Page 3 - Introductory page of the lesson with a breakdown of the parts of a paragraph; and there is a model so students can refer to the model as support Page 4 - Paragraph practice that includes topic possibilities, and a graphic organizer to complete a brainstorming activity Page 5/6 - Graphic organizer to write each part of the paragraph Page 7 - Writer's Check list Page 8/9 - Reflection pages for student to consider the activity beyond the classroom setting. Students benefit from reflective thinking in order to grow academically. In this lesson students are encouraged to consider and think about their writing skills development.

Activities to support the internalization of oa, along with writing activities are included. This multisensory packet includes: Page 1 Title page Page 2 - Informational page Page 3 - Introductory multisensory lesson of oa. Page 4/5 - Two pages of words with oa, one is basic, the second page includes words with basic suffixes Page 6 - Controlled sentences for reading fluency practice Page 7 - Writing activity Page 8 - Phrase oral reading practice Page 9 - Writing Activity Page 10 - Box It Activity - processing and memory development using oa vowel team. Page 11 - Word Search -This is not an activity for all students. I have found that either students love this activity or hate it. If students do not want to do, please refrain. Why? Students with memory, processing,and visual difficulties will struggle and usually become frustrated. But high school age students often go to this page first because they enjoy word searches. Word searches help to internalize the spelling of the words, by slowing down and repeatedly saying the letters/sounds of each word. Please contact me if you have any questions, or require more support. Thank you for your time and please rate this product if you like it! Best wishes, Elizabeth Kenny-Foggin M. S., M.
