Know the Code: Part of Speech - Helping Verbs

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.

Looking for a well developed "multisensory"PDF packet of activities to develop and internalize the meaning, and much more for the prefix "de-?" This multi-page resource is perfect for teachers and parents looking for meaningful work, with a variety of reading and writing activities. So many resources available for purchases are missing the skill building to develop writing. This resource includes a variety of writing opportunities, along with a user-friendly writer's support chart to help students with working memory, sequential ordering challenges, and language challenges. Pick and choose the skills you would like your student/child to focus on to develop this skill. There is an optional word search included. Please be advised it has been my experience working with students of all grade levels that students either love word searches or detest them. Therefore, please do not use if your student/child have challenges with visual spatial skills. Do not grade students if word searches are a challenge! Have questions?

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!

Template for Study Guides

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. Elizabeth Kenny-Foggin M. S., M.
