This multisensory PDF formatted resource is designed to support learning the consonant blend "cr." Included in this resources are strategies and techniques based on the principles of Orton Gillingham including multisensory strategies to help internalize concept of "cr."
Additionally, many activities develop cognitive processes including working memory, long-term memory, processing speed, to name a few. Students benefit from improving cognitive abilities and moving away from pure "memorization." The main goal is to internalize concepts, not memorize and forget concepts. So, the more multisensorial the activities and application activities, the stronger the learning connection!

Thank you for previewing this multisensory lesson in PDF format. Student activities are included to support student memory, for eventual automatic and immediate recall of short vowels, through the use of visual cues and multisensory activities.
Do you have students who require a great deal of one-to-one teaching time due to limited reading skills? Well this is a great packet to use to support student development of short vowels. This multisensory lesson is based on the principles and research of The Orton Gillingham approach, a multisensory, explicit, sequential, and cumulative approach, which incorporates repeated and continual review of skills. Short vowels for many students can be problematic, and require continual review and reinforcement.
The multisensory lessons including cue cards of each short vowel, book marks for student in keep in a folder to quick reference, and multisensory activities that can be used in a class setting, independently, small group, or whole class are included. Well this is a great learning tool to support students learning after initial presentation, and directions, with less teacher directed time. There is a great opportunity for students to also increase memory and recall, while becoming more independent!

This is a great multisensory lesson based on the principles of Orton Gillingham. The focus is r-controlled / bossy ir. There are numerous activities in this packet to support understanding of r-controlled words. R-Controlled/Bossy R (both terms are used interchangeably) include: ar, er, ir, or, and ur. The R "bosses" the vowel around, causing the vowel to sound different. The R comes after the vowel (this helps students for spelling purposes).

Page 1 - Title page
Page 2 - Informational page
Page 3 - Script to support multisensory lesson
Page 4 - Multisensory Introductory Lesson
Page 5 - Basic Word List of one-syllable word

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

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.

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.

Looking for a visual to support weak vowel skills? Does your student just need a visual to use intermittently as he/she progresses to higher reading skills? Would you like to have student sized visual chart that matches the poster size in your class room for continuity at school and for home? This poster provides each of the options listed! The visual poster is in PDF format.
One's ability to visually, in the mind's eye, to see a picture, or a word, to decode or encode a word quickly is important to grade level learners and students working to develop previously presented skills. This is a great multisensory tool for use with students in all grade levels.
