Know the Code: Syllable Types Game

(0)
If you are looking for a multisensory game resource for your students to support reading, this is the game resource to purchase. This game focuses on the syllable types students should know. All students should automatically use their reading skills to "unlock" unknown words, and know the syllable types is a must! This has been one of my biggest sellers in another market, and teachers continue to share the value of this resource. What teachers like the most is, students can work with a small group or partner, freeing up "teacher time" for other instructional responsibilities. The best part of all is students internalize the different syllable types. This resource is worth every pound! Do you have questions? Please email me at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com. Thank you.

Know the Code: Root: "port"

Know the Code: Root: "port"

(0)
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. If you need additional support, please contact me at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com. Best wishes, Elizabeth Kenny-Foggin ekennyfoggin@gmail.com

This multisensory PFD resource is designed with the principles of Orton Gillingham. For many teachers, and parents, the presentation of the concept C-le" can be a bit overwhelming. HOWEVER, do not worry! This bundle of activities are designed to support an individual's understanding of this syllable type. This syllable type is an actual syllable and is the last syllable presented since one needs the additional knowledge to internalize the concept. There are a few activities to help students develop a strong understanding of the skill. Additionally, there are specific focuses on the other syllable types in the "first syllable" of the word, prior to the consonant-le. Students development of other skills include: Understanding of syllables, Understanding of different syllable types Understanding of long and short vowels Decoding Encoding Word comprehension Reading Comprehension Reading Fluency Working Memory Visual Memory Word Retrieval Long-term Memory Processing Speed It is my sincerest hope that this bundle of activities will help students develop stronger reading skills AND that teachers, general education, special education, basic skills, to list a few are spared the time needed to create such a detailed resource. My goal is to provide accurate and "clear" resources for students, teachers and parents in multiple multisensory methods to support student learning! Have a question?

This lesson is based on Orton Gillingham Multisensory Language Development principles using multisensory strategies to support internalization of the meaning of sub-. A sampling of skills developed with this multisensory lesson: Prefix “sub-“ 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 sub- means below, under or near. The ability to know a prefix's meaning is a major support for students reading words that are in reading passages in English, science and social studies text books. Struggling readers benefit from knowing the meanings of prefixes like sub-. 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 sub-, and supports word recognition, stronger reading fluency, and improved comprehension. Students in middle school, and gifted students will also benefit using this lesson. However, all students require review and repetition of this prefix. It is important students have time to process these skills. Please contact me if you have questions at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com Best wishes, Elizabeth Kenny-Foggin M.S., M.A., OG-TT (IMSLEC)

Know the Code: Vowel Diphthong ow (cow)

(0)
This PDF styles resource is based on Orton Gillingham multisensory language development principles. For many students, without direct, explicit instruction of vowel diphthongs such as "ow (cow)," there will be a breakdown each time a word is read that includes a diphthong. Why? Well, students many know that vowel teams, two vowels next to each other make the long sound of the first vowel. Diphthongs differ because they are two vowels together, or side-by-side, but the sound made is unique. Basically, the two vowel sounds are not heard, but a distinctly different on. So, it is easy to understand how struggling readers might falter when decoding or reading words with diphthongs. Vowel Diphthongs are two vowels, side-by-side, that make their own unique sound. When coding syllables with diphthongs, circle the diphthong and write DT under the syllable. Phonemic Awareness Activities Vowel Diphthong ow (cow) 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. Students require review and repetition to internalize the sound of ow. Please contact me if you have questions. It will be my pleasure to work alongside you to support your child, or student's development of diphthongs. Have questions? Contact me at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com. Thank you.
