This is a 25 multisensory resource, based on the principles of Orton Gillingham using multisensory strategies. that focuses on foundational story elements. If you are looking for additional support to develop comprehension of fictional, realistic fiction, and other story generated styled reading materials, consider this resource. There is more to understanding a story then just the plot. As a high school teacher, students struggle to identify the various types of imagery such as thermal, auditory imagery! Other story elements include: characterization, figurative language, and more.

This resource is a success with students with dyslexia and other language based disorders. Why? The use of a multisensory approach, in conjunction with repetition of materials, and the color pages for each story element make the "kids" want to do the work!

Additional skills embedded in this multisensory packet include:
Word,sentence and paragraph comprehension;
Reading fluency
Internalize , not memorization of core story elements-
Knowledge and understanding of the story elements develops reading to a higher level of cognitive thinking. Students develop skills to go beyond the literal aspects of reading, delving more into deeper thinking!

Additional skill building activities focus on development of:
Use of strategies such as using personal knowledge to make higher level connections of underlining techniques used by an author to convey conflicts, life lessons;
Student opportunities to be more independent, reducing need for teacher intervention "step-by-step;"
Working Memory
Word Retrieval
Long-term Memory
Expressive and Receptive Skill building
Writing Development
