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!

Know the Code: Part of Speech - Helping Verbs

(0)
This is a PDF resource to develop the concepts of verbs - in particular helping verbs. Using the Orton Gillingham principles: multisensory, explicit, sequential, cumulative and repetitive, students become better equipped to identify helping verbs. Why is this important, the more understanding students have to the specific functions of a word in a sentence, the stronger the comprehension and writing skills. There are a few multisensory activities to develop understanding of helping verbs separate from "action" or linking verbs.The more "hands-on" activities the stronger a learner's connection. Students often struggle to identify the difference between nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs and prepositions. Additional skill buildings include: Parts of speech reading comprehension Reading fluency Decoding Encoding Writing sentences Syntax If you require more information, please email me at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com Thank you.

This lesson is based on Orton Gillingham Multisensory Language Development principles. A sampling of skills developed with this multisensory lesson: Prefix “mono-“ Vocabulary Reading comprehension Reading strategies Writing activities Reading fluency Processing Speed Working memory Long term memory Word Retrieval Students will develop a stronger vocabulary using a multisensory approach to word meaning. The prefix mono- means one. The ability to know a prefix's meaning is a major support for students reading words in reading passages in English, science and social studies text books. Struggling readers benefit from knowing the meanings of prefixes like mono-. This resource focuses on a multitude of skills that many students have not internalized, even though students are higher grade levels. Students in high school level classes have used this lesson and have developed an automaticity of the prefix meaning for mono-, and supports word recognition, stronger reading fluency, and improved comprehension. Students in middle school, along with gifted students will benefit completing this lesson. However, all students require review and repetition of this prefix. It is important students have time to process these skills. Please contact me if you have questions at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com Best wishes, Elizabeth Kenny-Foggin M.S., M.A., OG-TT (IMSLEC)

The seven syllable types are listed and each includes a simple clip art for quick retrieval when reading or completing reading work. the seven (7) syllable types include: 1. Closed (stop) 2. Open (we) 3. Bossry -R (BR) (shirt) 4. VCe (slide) 5. Vowel Team (VT) (beach) 6. Diphthong (DT) (boy) 7. Consonant-le (c-le) (sizzle) This poster is based on the principles of Orton Gillingham including the use of one's senses to create a multisensory experience. For the purposes of this poster/graphic organizer, students can see the words, pictures and abbreviations for each syllable types. Teachers have different methods to explain vowel teams and vowel diphthongs. There are teachers who prefer to teach these two syllables as one under the category of Vowel Team. Others prefer to separate the two syllable types into Vowel teams - where the first long sound is heard though there are two vowels next to each other. Vowel Diphthongs, also have two vowels next to each other, but the two vowels combine to make their own unique sound. The point is, explain to students there are two viewpoints, and share the way you present. I hope you find this a great resource and tool. Many parents, teachers and students have shared that they like having a copy at their desks. it helps a student be a bit more independent, and not require him/her to wait for help. Have questions?

Then, at the end of this description, click on "Add to Favorites," next to the heart icon. Then, you can easily locate the resource when you need it. This is both a reading and writing resource based on the principles of Orton Gillingham, using multisensory strategies. The point of using the expression "Most Kind Old King" is to help student identify the vowel units. What is important to stress with vowel units "ost, ind, old and ing" is the vowel sound is long, not short. Additionally, there are writing activities to support writing through the use of writing"trigger" words that support creating a visual in a student's mind that makes writing details easier. The more students write the stronger writing skills become. Too often, when students are struggling readers, the emphasis is placed on decoding and encoding. However, students need to continually write, so the opportunities in this resource are fun. There is a Mr. Potato Head Activity that can be used for young to old. High school students love to create Mr. Potato Heads. If actual Mr. Potato heads are not available, then use the cut outs provided. The cut outs have the website address attached for credit, and to locate in the future. I hope you find these concepts and activities supportive of your needs for students or your child.

This is a multisensory lesson for the vowel team: ay. The multisensory lesson includes the following: Title and informational page 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 suffixes and prefixes. This is a page of words that are for students who have higher decoding skills and/or have knowledge of basic suffixes. 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. It is okay for student to practice reading this page up to 3-4 times to develop reading fluency. 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. If you require support, or have a questions, please contact me at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com.
