This is a wonderful multisensory lesson to help students develop the skills to decode words based on syllable types. The most common syllable type is "closed." This is a detailed, multisensory based resource based on the principles of Orton Gillingham. There are application activities along with teacher information, visuals, word lists, phrases and controlled reading.
If you have a question, 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.

Reading Strategies
Writing Activities
Parts of Speech
Syllabication and Accents
Comprehension
Reading fluency
Processing speed
Working Memory
Long term memory
Word Retrieval
Students will develop stronger decoding, along with an enhanced vocabulary using a multisensory approach
Brain development and degrees of maturation are as varied and as different as each student. This unit places a great deal of repetition, review, practice using multisensory strategies and techniques. It is important students have time to process skills. Otherwise, students may only memorize, rather than comprehend. Memorization can be very limiting, when compared to deep comprehension.

Are you looking for a multisensory based lesson to support student learning of compound words beyond the basics? Did you know there are three types of compound words; or that usually the first word in a compound word is the one that is accented or stressed? Students that have difficulty learning to read compound words need to know the nuances. For example, did you know the three types of compound words are closed compound, open compound and hyphenated compound words. For students with dyslexia or other language based challenges, this type of information may be the final pieces to understanding and internalizing compound words.
This lesson is really one for any grade level above 2nd grade. If a student has missed learning opportunities due to environmental, medical or emotional challenges, the skill can be presented. Please select only the activities relevant to their skill needs.
Overall, this Orton Gillingham Based resource includes a multitude of skills development :
Writing development and strategies
Working and long-term memory development
Visual memory
Word retrieval
Processing speed
Accent - were does the accent belong?
Three types of compound words
Vocabulary

Controlled Reading to develop compound word identification and fluency
It is my sincerest hope that this multisensory resource based on the principles of Orton Gillingham benefit you and the student/child who needs the support. Please email me at ekennyfoggin@gmail if you have any questions.
Thank you.

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.

This multisensory PDF resource is for students learning the "E" rule using the principles of the Orton Gillingham. Students are introduced to the concept of the E Rule through explicit, sequential steps, along with numerous activities to help internalize the concept to automaticity. Additional activities are included for students that are optional: A word search and unscrambling words. However, do not make the word search and unscrambling of words mandatory since students with visual processing challenges will potentially struggle.
The knowledge of this concept requires support for some struggling students in the higher grades. So, this can be a differentiation activity for 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 27 page PDF file highlights numerous skill building activities to continue to support student understanding of the seven syllable types. There are many pictures (color) that are used in the game that are also helpful in oral language development. Students in kindergarten through higher grades benefit from the numerous activities included in this multisensory and prescriptive approach to the syllable types.
This entire packet is designed and developed using the Orton Gillingham approach to teaching. The Orton Gillingham Approach is based on a multisensory, explicit, cumulative approach - provides application and over-learning, along with continual review of previously presented skills.
Students love to play the game, and do not realize each time the game is played, learning is occurring! This activity can be played with a partner, or small group. Many teachers have shared their "students" love the game, and it is a great "go to" activity when there is a change in plans. If you require further support, please email me at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com
