Know the Code: Vowel Team "ay"

(0)
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. If you require support, or have a questions, please contact me at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com.

Then, at the end of this description, click on "Add to Favorites," next to the heart icon. Then, you can easily locate the resource when you need it. 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.

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. 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. Best regards, Elizabeth Kenny-Foggin M. S., M.

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.
