Do you work with older students who need to develop writing skills? This is a multisensory PDF resource that offers explicit instruction in the writing process, and provides numerous writing prompts: prompts with visuals; written prompts (no visuals) and journal topics that are engaging, and helps develop high cognitive skills along with writing skills.
Older student appreciate the style of this multisensory resource; it does not insult students with babyish looking font, and visuals. The prompts are designed for older students.
Please review the preview file as it highlights most of the resource. This resource provides students with specific writing strategies, text boxes that include a variety of word choices; and text boxes for students to fill-in as they progress through the pages.
Answer keys are not included since each student will provide responses based on their personal knowledge bases.
Please email me with any questions or comments. It is my hope that this NO PREP resource will provide high quality writing materials for your students, and help reduce time you need to prepare a thorough document for long-term development!
Thank you.

This is a cross curricular multisensory resource. This resource is a study guide template where you can make changes on the document. Please be sure to save the original resource. The reason for the creation of this resource was to support students who, based on IEP requirements, are provided with study guides. The problem with many study guides is that only the concepts being tested are provided. Students with 504 Plans, ESL/ELL students and classified students are typically developing foundational skills, unlike some of their peers. There is nothing more important then developing key skills like inferencing, predicting, and the ability to apply new concepts with prior knowledge to make "connections."
This study guide provides a way to continue to develop the high order thinking skills, not just providing test material. In the end, many students who use study guides to memorize will not recall or lack the ability to communicate the essence of concepts from previous weeks. Therefore, this multisensory tool is a method to continue to develop skills without requiring additional time outside the class or home. Skills are repetitiously repeated throughout the school year, and students have a stronger opportunity to increase higher thinking skills.

The approach used to develop this reource is based on the principles of Orton Gillingham - direct, explicit, cumulative and multisensory. There are application activities included. However, please note that there are some activities such as scrambled words that may be inappropriate to some of your students due to visual processing, weak working memories etc. The reason these activities are included is for the other students who have visual processing as a strength, and LOVE the activities. My resources offer a variety of skill building for a variety of students. It is "assumed" that teachers and parents will determine which skill building activities are best for each student.

Looking for a model of a short story plot triangle model for your students? Would any of your students benefit from having a graphic organizer of a short story plot triangle? Would you like to save time reinventing "the short story plot triangle" for every short story discussed? This resource uses the Most Dangerous Game, a classic suspense short story read in so many middle and high schools. Teach the short story triangle using The Most Dangerous Game. Students read the story, learn about the specific aspects of a short story plot triangle, and then can independently use the information in this resource for additional short stories comprehension!
The second file contains the actual text of the short story, The Most Dangerous Game. Since this classic suspense fictional short story is available online for free, I downloaded, formatted so students can annotate and have an easier time reading the text. The price of this multisensory resource if for the power point only - the story is free and available by "googling "free text of The Most Dangerous Game." It is my hope that providing it would save you time!
Additional strategies are included to support student development beyond the short story triangle such as a K-W-L graphic organizer, and a mini lesson on what strategies are and why strategies are important for readers to use when reading. For many students, unless explicitly explains and discussed, the connection is not made and students may continue to struggle year after year due to their uncertainty of what the literacy elements are to the short story triangle!

This multisensory resource is part of a presentation for teachers and other adults looking to increase their knowledge to support students, young, teenagers and adults with reading and writing difficulties.
There are many teachers and parents willing to work to support struggling readers but lacking the materials and "know how!"
This is a packet that includes four mini lessons per grade level, beginning at kindergarten through sixth grade. Lessons include a focus on: vowel sounds; syllable type; syllabication; spelling rule/generalization; and prefixes, suffixes (grades 2 onward); reading fluency practice and writing. Each lesson includes the writing pages for student to write the dictated words you provide (included in each lesson) and for writing their own "personal sentences.
If you are interested in the higher grades revisit this shop again mid-May for the higher grades.
Please email me if you are interested in hosting a training at your school or organization.
If you would like to see a sample of a lesson, email me and I will forward to you for review.
Thank you.

This lesson focuses on a multisensory approach, repetition, review, sequential focus on spelling rules/generalization skill building for optimum student development. It is important each student has time and opportunities to process skills to automaticity. Using a game style activity is one way for students to learn.
One folder has the playing cards for game cards for concentration. So teachers use as a learning center activity.
The other resource is a version of the power point that contains all of the slides used for the game cards, plus additional student activities to develop the separate spelling rules and generalizations.
The rules and generalizations include:
plural -s
plural -es
"fszl"
"-ck"
"-tch"
"dge"
"age"
Doubling Rule
E Rule
Change Y Rule
Optional Use: There are "wild cards" - students can change rule (if they turned over a different rule, so they have a "second chance" at getting a matched pair with another opportunity to turn over another card.
Optional: Lose a Turn cards
TEACHERS: You can determine the amount of rules to allow students to use. Remember there are 90 cards with the ten spelling rules/generalizations, young students developming visual memory will do better with less cards.But, as students's skills increase, consider increasing the number of rules/generalizations to include.
This concentration game is useful for single players, partners or small groups.

Story Elements: Part One
https://www.tes.com/us/teacher-lessons/know-the-code-story-elements-part-one-11173336
This resource supports learners using a multisensory approach . Students in high school often provide a definition of story elements but are unable to identify within a story. Students need to move beyond the “surface definitions” and apply story elements. This multisensory resource offers the basic information and interconnects practice and application.
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. Parents and teachers can select specific activities based on student need. Writing activities are included. 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.
