Finally, click on the picture in black and white of people in a group- under the blue rectangle The importance of identifying short vowels is a foundational skill needed to read and write. Students who struggle to identify the correct short vowel sounds are unable to read fluently, which negatively impacts comprehension. It is important to use multisensory strategies and techniques to develop automatically, short vowel sounds. More importantly, the use of lessons based on the principles of Orton Gillingham require students are provided explicit, sequential and use of the three main senses for learning: hearing, visual, and kinesthetic. This PDF multisensory resource focuses on the presentation of short vowel "o." Read below to see the specific aspects of the lessons: Introductory multisensory lesson on "short o" Phonemic Awareness Activity - sound awareness through manipulation of sounds within a word Three word lists: basic, basic plus blends, and advanced words Controlled reading Side by Side Connect Activity Word Search - OPTIONAL ONLY - Students with strong visual abilities typically enjoy these but students with visual processing and visual difficulties often dislike greatly!

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. Elizabeth Kenny-Foggin M. S., M.
