This is a multisensory lesson for the vowel team: ay.
The multisensory lesson includes the following is based on the principles of Orton Gillingham using multisensory strategies to better develop reading, writing and study skills.
Included in this resource:
Introductory multisensory lesson
Basic word list of "ay" words. This page is for students who are not yet strong as decoders, or have yet to be exposed to vowel teams and vowel diphthongs.
Next level - word list is for students with a higher decoding skills repertoire.
Controlled reading of words with the vowel team "ay." Controlled reading is actually the time for reading fluency practice. 95% accuracy is the overall goal. Controlled reading is to practice skills, not for comprehension. It is beneficial for student to read 3-4 times to develop reading fluency. After that, the usefulness is diminished.
Writing activity to develop sentence writing. This is a great activity to help students develop working memory, processing speed, both critical skills for reading fluency and comprehension.
Oral reading phrase practice
Writing Activity
Box it Activity
ay Word Search This is an optional Activity. Please be aware that there are many students who do not like word searches because of the overload of neurological processes including memory, processing speed, visual memory. So please do not require this activity as a compulsory one. On the flip side of this discussion are the other students who absolutely love word searches. For these students, this is a great activity to internalize the word's spelling because each word requires a significant focus of the letter sounds and sequences. Just please be careful... teacher are great at knowing their students strengths and weaknesses.

Thank you for previewing this multisensory lesson in PDF resource with student activities that can used to support reading skills development and increase student memory. Students need to have automaticity of short vowel sounds, through multisensory activities. The ability to say short vowel sounds can be very difficult for struggling readers. It is important to carefully present each skill. It is important to present one vowel sound at a time, and to provide time in-between so student has a stronger opportunity to internalize the vowel. It is recommended to provide student with a visual chart of all short vowels in the classroom, and one the homework folder. This visual support will provide additional support while student internalizes each sound learned in class. Check out the vowel posters available in my shop.
Do you have students who require a great deal of one-to-one teaching time due to limited reading skills? These multisensory lessons are based on the principles and research of The Orton Gillingham approach, a multisensory, explicit, sequential, and cumulative approach, which incorporates over-learning and a continual review of skills. Short vowels for many students can be problematic, and require continual review and reinforcement.
Please email me at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com if you have questions, or require clarification.
Cordially,

This is a very useful multisensory PDF resource. This multisensory lesson focuses on open syllables using the principles of Orton Gillingham. This resource can be a follow up lesson after teaching closed syllable type (most common 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 for more opportunities to develop the skill, identification of open syllables.
Are you a parent looking for a multisensory resource to support your child's reading skills development. Or, if you are a teacher looking to support students in your class and want to teach your students about the different syllable types so they can independently read unknown words with open syllables. Please review 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 provide academic support.
Why is this an important reading skill? 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 words. Rather students have reading strategies to apply to identify unknown one and multisyllabic words.
The multisensory packet on "open syllable" includes:
Informational page
Phonemic Awareness Activity
Script
Practice application activities
Controlled reading - sentences
Writing Activity
Comprehension and internalization of concept
Reading passage
Thank you.

This is a multisensory PDF resource designed to support students developing reading skills. Students without the ability to identify short vowels, including short vowel "i" will continue to struggle to decode and encode basic one-syllable words and multisyllabic words.Additionally, reading fluency will continue to be negatively impacted until students understand and automatically react to short vowels. Reading fluency is critical to overall comprehension. If students are unable to comprehend, then other individuals must intervene. This is a support, but for many students, support becomes complete reliance on others to identify words. We need to support independence. Students with age appropriate reading automaticity have gone beyond identifying sounds within words-their brains see the entire grouping of letters of each word and respond.
The activities included in this multisensory resource support student development of the skill "short i." Additionally, writing development is included. Too often, there is a strong emphasis on decoding and encoding, but writing skills are "lost" in the process. Keep students immersed in writing, using basic writing strategies like COPS - Capitalize, Organization, Punctuation and Spelling.

This multisensory PDF resource is for students learning the FSZL rule using the principles of the Orton Gillingham. Students are introduced to the concept of the doubling of F S Z L when each of the mentioned consonants come at the end of a one-syllable word. The presentation, through explicit, sequential steps, along with numerous activities help students internalize the FSZL rule to automaticity.
The knowledge of this concept, The FSZL Rule requires support for struggling students in the higher grades. Many older students for whatever reason, did not internalize this skill, but need to learn it.
This resource can be used to support struggling readers, spellers and writers. It is up to the teacher and/or parent to determine which activities are best suited for the individual using this resource for academic development.

This multisensory PDF resource , based on Orton Gillingham principles focuses on the consonant digraph "wh" that typically is presented last of the "H" brothers: sh, ch, th and wh.
"Wh" words are typically introduced to students through the question words: why, when, what, which, and who, during the early school years of up to grade 2. However, students may not understand that "wh" is actually a consonant digraph, and need specific and direct instruction to gain this knowledge.
Another reason that "wh" is typically presented as the last of the "H" brothers is because the words that include "wh" include higher level skills such as vowel consonant e words and words with vowel diphthongs, another higher level skill.
The "Wh" lesson unit includes:
Information page for teachers and parents
Suggested Skill Presentation Script to support Adults presentation to students
Multisensory Introductory lesson
Phonemic Awareness Activity
Word list (use only words students can identify based on their skill level)
Reading fluency practice using phrases
Controlled reading of sentences to develop reading fluency
Word Search - OPTIONAL Activity - This activity is only for students who like to do this type of activity. Students with visual and processing difficulties may become very frustrated so please be guided according to the needs of your student.
Memory development for word retrieval of either other consonant digraphs and selected short vowels.
Answer Keys for words search and possible words to provide students with difficulty retrieving words of the specific skills presented.

This is a great multisensory game to support students with sight words that include the letters O U G H. PLEASE NOTE: All ways of saying the ough are intermingled, not separated This is not a lesson on different sounds made by OUGH. There are different ways of saying OUGH, but the focus for this activity is to develop the skill to spell words with OUGH. There is an expression used O - U - Grumpy Horse) to support student recall when supporting words that include this group of letters:
"O U Grumpy Horse"
Many students continue to struggle spelling words that include ough.; and the words are included in this game.
By putting the words together under the category of O U G H, with a visual of a grumpy horse, students should increase ability to recall quicker and eventually internalize how to spell, and recognize when the words are read using a multisensory game approach!

Page 19 - Master list of words
Pages 20 - 23 - All words that are part of the bingo game (will need to be separated prior to playing game)
Blank template of a game board
Students thoroughly enjoy this game.
There are a few activities that students can do in addition to OUGH Bingo, using the materials:
Students can write words in sentences
Students can alphabetize words - a great way to focus in on specific letter sequence
Students can orally provide a sentence to the group after identification of the word.
All of the words have ough ; ought as part of their spelling makeup. If students can visualize or group these challenging words, both decoding (reading) and encoding (writing) will improve.
I have documented growth on the part of students using this game. It is my hope you experience the same results. If you have questions, please just email me...
As always, it is my hope that you kindly follow the rule of purchasing additional licenses at half-off for each class or group that will use this game. I do believe in, "Honesty is the best policy!"
Thank you.

This lesson is based on Orton Gillingham multisensory language development principles.
For many students, without direct, explicit instruction of vowel diphthongs such as "ow (cow)," there will be a breakdown each time a word is read that includes a diphthong. Why? Well, students many know that vowel teams, two vowels next to each other make the long sound of the first vowel. Diphthongs differ because they are two vowels together, or side-by-side, but the sound made is unique. Basically, the two vowel sounds are not heard, but a distinctly different on. So, it is easy to understand how struggling readers might falter when decoding or reading words with diphthongs.
Vowel Diphthongs are two vowels, side-by-side, that make their own unique sound. When coding syllables with diphthongs, circle the diphthong and write DT under the syllable.

Students will develop a stronger vocabulary using a multisensory approach to word meaning. Students require review and repetition to internalize the sound of ow.
Please contact me if you have questions. It will be my pleasure to work alongside you to support your child, or student's development of diphthongs. Have questions? Contact me at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com.

This multisensory PFD resource is designed with the principles of Orton Gillingham. For many teachers, and parents, the presentation of the concept C-le" can be a bit overwhelming. HOWEVER, do not worry! This bundle of activities are designed to support an individual's understanding of this syllable type. This syllable type is an actual syllable and is the last syllable presented since one needs the additional knowledge to internalize the concept.
There are a few activities to help students develop a strong understanding of the skill. Additionally, there are specific focuses on the other syllable types in the "first syllable" of the word, prior to the consonant-le.
Students development of other skills include:
Understanding of syllables,
Understanding of different syllable types
Understanding of long and short vowels
Decoding
Encoding
Word comprehension
Reading Comprehension
Reading Fluency
Working Memory
Visual Memory
Word Retrieval
Long-term Memory
Processing Speed
It is my sincerest hope that this bundle of activities will help students develop stronger reading skills AND that teachers, general education, special education, basic skills, to list a few are spared the time needed to create such a detailed resource. My goal is to provide accurate and "clear" resources for students, teachers and parents in multiple multisensory methods to support student learning!
