Thank you for previewing this multisensory lesson in PDF resource with student activities that can used to support reading skills development and increase student memory. Students need to have automaticity of short vowel sounds, through multisensory activities. The ability to say short vowel sounds can be very difficult for struggling readers. It is important to carefully present each skill. It is important to present one vowel sound at a time, and to provide time in-between so student has a stronger opportunity to internalize the vowel. It is recommended to provide student with a visual chart of all short vowels in the classroom, and one the homework folder. This visual support will provide additional support while student internalizes each sound learned in class. Check out the vowel posters available in my shop.
Do you have students who require a great deal of one-to-one teaching time due to limited reading skills? These multisensory lessons are based on the principles and research of The Orton Gillingham approach, a multisensory, explicit, sequential, and cumulative approach, which incorporates over-learning and a continual review of skills. Short vowels for many students can be problematic, and require continual review and reinforcement.
Please email me at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com if you have questions, or require clarification.
Cordially,

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.

Are you looking for a multisensory based lesson to support student learning of compound words beyond the basics? Did you know there are three types of compound words; or that usually the first word in a compound word is the one that is accented or stressed? Students that have difficulty learning to read compound words need to know the nuances. For example, did you know the three types of compound words are closed compound, open compound and hyphenated compound words. For students with dyslexia or other language based challenges, this type of information may be the final pieces to understanding and internalizing compound words.
This lesson is really one for any grade level above 2nd grade. If a student has missed learning opportunities due to environmental, medical or emotional challenges, the skill can be presented. Please select only the activities relevant to their skill needs.
Overall, this Orton Gillingham Based resource includes a multitude of skills development :
Writing development and strategies
Working and long-term memory development
Visual memory
Word retrieval
Processing speed
Accent - were does the accent belong?
Three types of compound words
Vocabulary

This is a multisensory PDF resource designed to support students developing reading skills. Students without the ability to identify short vowels, including short vowel "i" will continue to struggle to decode and encode basic one-syllable words and multisyllabic words.Additionally, reading fluency will continue to be negatively impacted until students understand and automatically react to short vowels. Reading fluency is critical to overall comprehension. If students are unable to comprehend, then other individuals must intervene. This is a support, but for many students, support becomes complete reliance on others to identify words. We need to support independence. Students with age appropriate reading automaticity have gone beyond identifying sounds within words-their brains see the entire grouping of letters of each word and respond.
The activities included in this multisensory resource support student development of the skill "short i." Additionally, writing development is included. Too often, there is a strong emphasis on decoding and encoding, but writing skills are "lost" in the process. Keep students immersed in writing, using basic writing strategies like COPS - Capitalize, Organization, Punctuation and Spelling.

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. Students with visual and processing difficulties may become very frustrated so please be guided according to the needs of your student.
Memory development for word retrieval of either other consonant digraphs and selected short vowels.
Answer Keys for words search and possible words to provide students with difficulty retrieving words of the specific skills presented.
