Become a "follower" of my multisensory shop. How? Just click on my user name, then go to the word "Profile" and click on that word. Then, go under the light blue rectangle, click on the picture in black and you will become one of my followers! Looking for a resource based on a multisensory approach that is systematic, sequential, and explicit methods for internalization, beyond the method of “memorization?” Each multisensory lesson is based on the principles of Orton Gillingham using multisensory strategies. Lessons dedicated specifically to phonograms, blends, vowel sounds, digraphs, are formatted so students become comfortable and quicker with each lesson. Expectations are often the same, reducing the mental effort and energy taken to make sense of lesson expectations. Additionally, there are numerous graphic organizers included to support student writing, reading, and study habits. Numerous pictures are included to develop oral language skills, which in turn, support vocabulary development. Students who struggle to read and write, experience a significant decline in vocabulary, which then begins a “snowball effect,” - students fall further behind, challenged to the point where these students become academically behind by months and years, compared to their peer group. Sight words are included in this resource and specific directions are included to support a multisensory presentation to teach sight words, also called “red” words. Other reading skills developed include: Decoding Encoding Reading fluency Word comprehension Sentence comprehension Paragraph comprehension Section / Chapter discourse Writing skills Sentence structure Syntax (rules of grammar) Application activities are provided to support the internalization and comprehension of concepts: Cognitive skills are also refined and developed - see below: Working memory Word Retrieval Long-term memory Processing Please check the Table of Contents for specific lessons.

Know the Code: Syllable Type - Open Syllable

(0)
This is a very useful multisensory PDF resource. This multisensory lesson focuses on open syllables; and can be a follow up lesson after teaching closed 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 to have more opportunities to develop the skill, open syllable. This multisensory resource is perfect for parents who want to continue to support their child reading skills development. Or, if you are a teacher looking to support students in your class and do not have conferences or the ability to attend a class to learn about the different syllable types. You can look at 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 support you. 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 word. Why? They have the strategies to actually decode.... The multisensory packet on "open syllable" includes: Informational page Phonemic Awareness Activity Script This multisensory resource includes the concept of an open syllable with a word list to "code." Controlled reading - sentences Writing Activity Practice page for increased comprehension and internalization of concept. Reading passage Thank you. Elizabeth Kenny-Foggin M. S., M.

Know the Code: Poster - Short Vowels Visual Chart

(0)
Short Vowel Visual Chart Looking for a chart of short vowels including visual and words. This resource can be made into a poster for a classroom and as graphic organizers for a student's binder and homework folder. Students require a great amount of support in accessing the sounds of short vowels sounds until student has automaticity of each vowel sound. Many teachers have communicated the numerous uses this chart has been during and after class lessons. Parents and guardians use the poster in size 8 1/2 by 11 inches at home and have shared the time for homework is reduced because their child uses it to support decoding and encoding words. It is my hope that this resource supports your goals when teaching students. This tool is useful for all ages, and many older students and adults use it as well. Adults may prefer the size of the poster be reduced to 2 x 3 inches to use in daily life. Have questions, please email me at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com Thank you. Elizabeth Kenny-Foggin M. S., M.

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.

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.
