Story Elements: Part One
https://www.tes.com/us/teacher-lessons/know-the-code-story-elements-part-one-11173336
This resource supports learners using a multisensory approach . Students in high school often provide a definition of story elements but are unable to identify within a story. Students need to move beyond the “surface definitions” and apply story elements. This multisensory resource offers the basic information and interconnects practice and application.
Know the Code: Parts of Speech - Noun
https://www.tes.com/us/teacher-lessons/know-the-code-parts-of-speech-noun-11168901
A multisensory approach to support student internalization of the part of speech – noun. While many believe students can identify and locate nouns in sentences, the reality is students are not always efficient. A challenge for students is in the identification of concepts/ideas, which are part of a noun description. Unfortunately, when students identify nouns, what it being is a basic note) “…people, places and things….” Students should be able to state “people, places, things and concepts/ideas.” A review of this bundle will highlight opportunities to support student development. Parents and teachers can select specific activities based on student need. Writing activities are included. Comprehension skills improve when students understand parts of speech within written text. Why? Students can locate the core elements in a sentence – the subject- a noun and verb. . Identification of the main subject (noun) and verb in complex sentences is critical to writing.

If you feel overwhelmed just hearing the word SCHWA, then this is the multisensory lesson is for you and your students. This multisensory resource provides powerful information related to the concept of schwa. So often, students ask "BUT WHY?" when it comes to schwa. Quite frankly, many adults know and can identify a schwa, but are at a loss when kids want to know more than the "upside-down "e" represents the schwa sound.
This is a PDF document filled with information, word lists, and fun activities, and answer keys for application activities that students can use after to check their work.
You will even find a Schwa Rap that can be performed by you and/or your students. I love being silly with my students - imagine doing a schwa rap song to 12th graders. It has been my experience, over and over again, that when I laugh and engage in fun while teaching a concept, the students learn! Maybe at this point in my teaching career I love to make the kids groan, but I really know each student loves the fun!
If you like this multisensory resource built on the principles of Orton Gillingham and supported by explicit teaching and continual review and reinforcement, this is the resource to use!

Looking for a model of a short story plot triangle model for your students? Would any of your students benefit from having a graphic organizer of a short story plot triangle? Would you like to save time reinventing "the short story plot triangle" for every short story discussed? This resource uses the Most Dangerous Game, a classic suspense short story read in so many middle and high schools. Teach the short story triangle using The Most Dangerous Game. Students read the story, learn about the specific aspects of a short story plot triangle, and then can independently use the information in this resource for additional short stories comprehension!
The second file contains the actual text of the short story, The Most Dangerous Game. Since this classic suspense fictional short story is available online for free, I downloaded, formatted so students can annotate and have an easier time reading the text. The price of this multisensory resource if for the power point only - the story is free and available by "googling "free text of The Most Dangerous Game." It is my hope that providing it would save you time!
Additional strategies are included to support student development beyond the short story triangle such as a K-W-L graphic organizer, and a mini lesson on what strategies are and why strategies are important for readers to use when reading. For many students, unless explicitly explains and discussed, the connection is not made and students may continue to struggle year after year due to their uncertainty of what the literacy elements are to the short story triangle!

This multisensory bundle is designed to support students improve their reading - all of the R-controlled vowels and compound words; along with writing skills development. Information is provided about concepts included in the bundle for the teachers, parents and other adults to have to help students. To provide a multisensory, explicit, and repetitive approach, there is a focus on the following skills:
R Controlled Vowels
ar, er, ir, or, ur
For each r-controlled multisensory lesson, the teacher or adult needs to instruct the student (s) to identify the r-controlled vowel, sound, and provide a picture to highlight each sound.
Compound Words
Closed
Hyphenated
Open
When two or more words joined together, the result is the creation of a compound word, with a new word meaning. There are three types of compound words: closed, hyphenated and open.
Writing Skills Development
“Writing Trigger Words” - support ideas/concept development
It is critical to develop a student’s ability to decode, encode, reading fluently and comprehend, simultaneously focus on writing development, including sentence writing and paragraphs. Without this focus and balance, student often progress more in the area of reading, but struggle with writing skills, possibly due to limited writing opportunities.
Please email me at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com with any questions or clarification related to the resource.
It is important to review the preview prior to purchasing to ensure it is suitable to your students, and your needs.
Have a great day.

This is the third of a eight-series spelling program based on sequential, direct, and explicit teaching!. The next Level D resource will be finalized in June, continuing to develop skills based on review of the prior levels and presentation of new skills. So please come by to visit again each month to see what is available.
There are two files available, one with color throughout the resource; and the other with REDUCED color pages, for saving color ink. However, the pictures that are part of the presentation of lessons are in color. It is my experience that students prefer colored pictures and react better to understanding concepts. Please review both files before deciding what you want to print.
Please review the preview file to see the format of each unit; each provides continuity to support student understanding. Not all lessons are included in the preview. Each skill builds upon the previous lessons, a must for lessons to be Orton Gillingham based. Word study using a structured language approach helps teachers and parents to develop student spelling and reading skills.

This is a PDF formatted resource that focuses on consonant blend "br-." this resource is based on the principles of Orton Gillingham and multisensory strategies to support student learning of concept "br-."
Additionally, many activities develop cognitive processes including working memory, long-term memory, processing speed, to name a few. Students benefit from improving cognitive abilities and moving away from pure memorization. The main goal is to internalize concepts, not memorize and forget concepts. So, the more multisensorial the activities and application activities, the stronger the learning connection!

The importance of teaching students the meanings of roots is a great strategy to develop deeper vocabulary and comprehension. When teaching a root, using the principles of Orton Gillingham and multisensory techniques supports vocabulary development of word, sentences, paragraphs and comprehension through large amounts of texts: sections of texts, and chapters expected of students.
Struggling students can develop missing reading skills, and higher-functioning students can work toward higher development of reading skills. This is a great tool to differentiate instruction.
Special Education Teachers that are required to provide study guides, based on IEP Accommodations for classified students or students with 504 Plans can include activities from this lesson into content area study guides as a tool to continue reading, writing skills development.
Skills developed include:
Meaning of root: val
Syllabication of words
Decoding
Encoding
Reading Fluency
Comprehension
Writing development
Processing speed
Working Memory
Long-term memory
Word Retrieval
