Know the Code: Roots - spec, spect, spic
ekennyfogginekennyfoggin

Know the Code: Roots - spec, spect, spic

(0)
This is a PDF formatted multisensory resource based on the Orton Gillingham methodology, for students in middle or high school grades. Roots are a very valuable skill to provide students for vocabulary and comprehension development. Why? Roots have meanings, and roots are a major layer of our language. Students can use this knowledge to decode and 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 roots spec, spect, spic. 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.

PLEASE NOTE: All ways of saying the ough are intermingled, not separated This is not a lesson on different sounds made by OUGH. The focus for this activity is to develop the skill to spell words with OUGH. There is an expression used O - U - Grumpy Horse) to support student recall when supporting words that include this group of letters: "O U Grumpy Horse" Many students continue to struggle spelling words that include ough.; and the words are included in this game. By putting the words together under the category of O U G H, with a visual of a grumpy horse, students should increase ability to recall quicker and eventually internalize how to spell, and recognize when the words are read using a multisensory game approach! Page 1 -Title page Page 2- Directions and materials Pages 3 - 18 Student game boards Page 19 - Master list of words Pages 20 - 23 - All words that are part of the bingo game (will need to be separated prior to playing game) Students thoroughly enjoy this game. Using OUGH Bingo, students can: Students can write words in sentences Students can alphabetize words - a great way to focus in on specific letter sequence Students can orally provide a sentence to the group after identification of the word. All of the words have ough ; ought as part of their spelling makeup. If students can visualize or group these challenging words, both decoding (reading) and encoding (writing) will improve. I have documented growth on the part of students using this game. It is my hope you experience the same results. If you have questions, please just email me... Thank you. Elizabeth Kenny-Foggin M.

Know the Code: Consonant Digraph "wh"

(0)
This multisensory PDF resource , based on Orton Gillingham principles focuses on the consonant digraph "wh" that typically is presented last of the "H" brothers: sh, ch, th and wh. "Wh" words are typically introduced to students through the question words: why, when, what, which, and who, during the early school years of up to grade 2. However, students may not understand that "wh" is actually a consonant digraph, and need specific and direct instruction to gain this knowledge. Another reason that "wh" is typically presented as the last of the "H" brothers is because the words that include "wh" include higher level skills such as vowel consonant e words and words with vowel diphthongs, another higher level skill. The "Wh" lesson unit includes: Information page for teachers and parents Suggested Skill Presentation Script to support Adults presentation to students Multisensory Introductory lesson Phonemic Awareness Activity Word list (use only words students can identify based on their skill level) Reading fluency practice using phrases Controlled reading of sentences to develop reading fluency Word Search - OPTIONAL Activity - This activity is only for students who like to do this type of activity.

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 a very useful multisensory PDF resource. This multisensory lesson focuses on open syllables using the principles of Orton Gillingham. This resource can be a follow up lesson after teaching closed syllable type (most common 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 for more opportunities to develop the skill, identification of open syllables. Are you a parent looking for a multisensory resource to support your child's reading skills development. Or, if you are a teacher looking to support students in your class and want to teach your students about the different syllable types so they can independently read unknown words with open syllables. Please review 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 provide academic support. Why is this an important reading skill? 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 words. Rather students have reading strategies to apply to identify unknown one and multisyllabic words. The multisensory packet on "open syllable" includes: Informational page Phonemic Awareness Activity Script Practice application activities Controlled reading - sentences Writing Activity Comprehension and internalization of concept Reading passage Thank you.
