Know the Code: Coding Words for Identification & Meaning This is a free PDF document that focuses on the "basics" of coding unknown, or unfamiliar words. Too many students lack the basic knowledge of the different types of syllables. The syllables include: closed; open; Vowel Consonant "e," Bossy "R," Vowel Teams, Diphthongs, and Consonant - le (c-le). Once students know the code, identifying words becomes less anxiety-ridden, helping students to read words without having to ask another person.

Know the Code: Y sounds like /i/

Know the Code: Y sounds like /i/

(0)
Thanks for previewing this multisensory resource based on the principles of Orton Gillingham , using multisensory strategies. The concept of the letter "y" being considered an actual vowel sound can be very confusing for some students. And, then, share that the letter "w" can also be considered a vowel, and you will see young children having "heart attacks!" Of course students will not have a heart attach, but explaining the letter "y" (and sometimes "w") does not make sense UNTIL you explain the rule. When a one-syllable word ends with a long i sound, the letter written is a "Y." Examples include fly, sty, cry. There are times when specific endings are added like "-ing" students will see the y and ask "Why." Just explain the main word is one-syllable, and inflected ending can be added. I hope you find this multisensory resource supportive, and your students learn the skill! Remember, the use of a multisensory approach, use of the senses - see, hear, touch is powerful - when brain pathways are engaged, the deeper the learning connection. Have a great day.

Know the Code: Poster - Short and Long Vowel Chart

Looking for a visual to support weak vowel skills? Does your student just need a visual to use intermittently as he/she progresses to higher reading skills? Would you like to have student sized visual chart that matches the poster size in your class room for continuity at school and for home? This poster provides each of the options listed! The visual poster is in PDF format. One's ability to visually, in the mind's eye, to see a picture, or a word, to decode or encode a word quickly is important to grade level learners and students working to develop previously presented skills. This is a great multisensory tool for use with students in all grade levels. Please contact me at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com if you need more information. Cordially, Elizabeth Kenny-Foggin M. S, M.

Know the Code: Short Vowel "i"
ekennyfogginekennyfoggin

Know the Code: Short Vowel "i"

(0)
This is a multisensory PDF 10 page resource to support students developing reading skills. Students lacking the ability to identify short vowels "i" will continue to struggle to decode and encode basic one-syllable words and multisyllabic words if the skill is not learned to automaticity. Reading fluency will continue to be negatively impacted until students understand and automatically react to short vowels. Strong readers are reading with automaticity - they 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. Have questions? Contact me at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com . Thank you.
