Know the Code: Prefix - sub-

(1)
This lesson is based on Orton Gillingham Multisensory Language Development principles. A sampling of skills developed with this multisensory lesson: Prefix “sub-“ 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 sub- means below, under or near. The ability to know a prefix's meaning is a major support for students reading words that are in reading passages in English, science and social studies text books. Struggling readers benefit from knowing the meanings of prefixes like sub-. 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 sub-, and supports word recognition, stronger reading fluency, and improved comprehension. Students in middle school, and gifted students will also benefit using 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)

Know the Code: Writing a Paragraph

(0)
The Basics of a Paragraph This multisensory lesson is available to support students with writing challenges. Many students, whether classified, or unclassified, struggle with writing. Actually, some students experiences melt downs when required to write, the result of memory and/or processing difficulties. Students benefit from the use of models, examples, and having the writing activity broken down into parts to be successful. Further, this lesson has an editor's check list so students develop writing skills by looking at their writing and classmates from a different perspective. Writing is a process, and students develop skills at different time periods. So, if you want to support writing development, this is a great lesson. Parents can help out at home, and be the "editors" and have conversations to explain their feedback to their child. The packet includes the following: Page 1-Title Page 2 - Informational page Page 3 - Introductory page of the lesson with a breakdown of the parts of a paragraph; and there is a model so students can refer to the model as support Page 4 - Paragraph practice that includes topic possibilities, and a graphic organizer to complete a brainstorming activity Page 5/6 - Graphic organizer to write each part of the paragraph Page 7 - Writer's Check list Page 8/9 - Reflection pages for student to consider the activity beyond the classroom setting. Students benefit from reflective thinking in order to grow academically. In this lesson students are encouraged to consider and think about their writing skills development.

Know the Code: Roots - spec, spect, spic

(0)
This is a PDF formatted multisensory resource based on the Orton Gillingham methodology, for students in middle or high school grades. Roots are a very valuable skill to provide students for vocabulary and comprehension development. Why? Roots have meanings, and roots are a major layer of our language. Students can use this knowledge to decode and words and meanings. When an individual knows a root's meaning, when words encountered have that root, even if not ever viewed before, the meaning of the word is partially known. This is a great support for comprehension and fluency. Vocabulary development using roots is a better tool then teaching single words in isolation. There is a vocabulary graphic organizer included that is really a powerful multisensory tool to develop vocabulary of the roots spec, spect, spic. The graphic organizer includes the word, meaning, part of speech, student generated sentences, and the origin of the word. Each of these parts work together to support student vocabulary development.

Then, you can easily locate the resource when you need it. This is a great multisensory game to support students with sight words that include the letters O U G H. PLEASE NOTE: All ways of saying the ough are intermingled, not separated This is not a lesson on different sounds made by OUGH. The focus for this activity is to develop the skill to spell words with OUGH. There is an expression used O - U - Grumpy Horse) to support student recall when supporting words that include this group of letters: "O U Grumpy Horse" Many students continue to struggle spelling words that include ough.; and the words are included in this game. By putting the words together under the category of O U G H, with a visual of a grumpy horse, students should increase ability to recall quicker and eventually internalize how to spell, and recognize when the words are read using a multisensory game approach! Page 1 -Title page Page 2- Directions and materials Pages 3 - 18 Student game boards Page 19 - Master list of words Pages 20 - 23 - All words that are part of the bingo game (will need to be separated prior to playing game) Students thoroughly enjoy this game. Using OUGH Bingo, students can: Students can write words in sentences Students can alphabetize words - a great way to focus in on specific letter sequence Students can orally provide a sentence to the group after identification of the word. All of the words have ough ; ought as part of their spelling makeup. If students can visualize or group these challenging words, both decoding (reading) and encoding (writing) will improve. I have documented growth on the part of students using this game. It is my hope you experience the same results. If you have questions, please just email me... Thank you. Elizabeth Kenny-Foggin M.

Know the Code: Vowel Diphthong ow (cow)

Know the Code: Vowel Diphthong ow (cow)

(0)
This PDF styles resource is based on Orton Gillingham multisensory language development principles. For many students, without direct, explicit instruction of vowel diphthongs such as "ow (cow)," there will be a breakdown each time a word is read that includes a diphthong. Why? Well, students many know that vowel teams, two vowels next to each other make the long sound of the first vowel. Diphthongs differ because they are two vowels together, or side-by-side, but the sound made is unique. Basically, the two vowel sounds are not heard, but a distinctly different on. So, it is easy to understand how struggling readers might falter when decoding or reading words with diphthongs. Vowel Diphthongs are two vowels, side-by-side, that make their own unique sound. When coding syllables with diphthongs, circle the diphthong and write DT under the syllable. Phonemic Awareness Activities Vowel Diphthong ow (cow) 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. Students require review and repetition to internalize the sound of ow. Please contact me if you have questions. It will be my pleasure to work alongside you to support your child, or student's development of diphthongs. Have questions? Contact me at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com. Thank you.

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.
