Know the Code: Short Vowels

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!

Cordially,
