This multisensory PFD resource is designed with the principles of Orton Gillingham. For many teachers, and parents, the presentation of the concept C-le" can be a bit overwhelming. HOWEVER, do not worry! This bundle of activities are designed to support an individual's understanding of this syllable type. This syllable type is an actual syllable and is the last syllable presented since one needs the additional knowledge to internalize the concept.
There are a few activities to help students develop a strong understanding of the skill. Additionally, there are specific focuses on the other syllable types in the "first syllable" of the word, prior to the consonant-le.
Students development of other skills include:
Understanding of syllables,
Understanding of different syllable types
Understanding of long and short vowels
Decoding
Encoding
Word comprehension
Reading Comprehension
Reading Fluency
Working Memory
Visual Memory
Word Retrieval
Long-term Memory
Processing Speed
It is my sincerest hope that this bundle of activities will help students develop stronger reading skills AND that teachers, general education, special education, basic skills, to list a few are spared the time needed to create such a detailed resource. My goal is to provide accurate and "clear" resources for students, teachers and parents in multiple multisensory methods to support student learning!

This lesson is based on Orton Gillingham multisensory language development principles.
For many students, without direct, explicit instruction of vowel diphthongs such as "oi," 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.

Students will develop a stronger vocabulary using a multisensory approach to word meaning. Students require review and repetition to internalize the sound of oi.
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.

This lesson is based on Orton Gillingham Multisensory Language Development principles using multisensory strategies to support internalization of the meaning of sub-.

Prefix “sub-“

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.

This PDF is formatted as a multisensory resource based on the Orton Gillingham methodology, for students in middle or high school grades. Roots are a valuable skill to teach students - roots support vocabulary and comprehension development. Why? Roots have meanings, and roots are a layer of our language. Students can use this knowledge to decode words and meanings. When an individual knows a root's meaning, when words encountered have that root, even if the entire word has never been viewed, , the meaning of the word is partially known. This is a great support for student comprehension and fluency.
Vocabulary development using roots is typically a better tool then teaching single words in isolation. If you need additional support, please contact me at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com.

This is a PDF formatted multisensory resource based on the Orton Gillingham methodology, for students in middle or high school grades focused on the root "port." . Roots are a very valuable skill to provide students for vocabulary and comprehension development. Why? Roots have meanings, and roots are a distinct layer of our language. Students can use this knowledge to decode 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 root port. 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.

This lesson, in PDF format, focuses on teaching the consonant s; using a multisensory approach, repetition, review, focusing on skill building for optimum internalization of the phonogram s. Student development is grounded in a multisensory approach, repetition of the skill and application using the principles of Orton Gillingham. This lesson requires teacher introduction, discussion and modeling, followed by student practice and application. There is a word search included but please make this activity optional since there are students who will struggle due to visual processing challenges. But, since many students love word searches, one is included.
Have questions, then please email me at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com.
Thank you.

Thank you for previewing this multisensory game in PDF format. This game supports student memory and recall of short vowel sounds.
Do you work with students that benefit from activities based on the principles and research of The Orton Gillingham approach, a multisensory, explicit, sequential, and cumulative approach? For many students, short vowels skill building can be difficult and requires student's practice more than others. This is a great tool to use in a fun manner that can be used small group or large class.
This is a great learning tool support students learning after initial presentation, and directions, with less teacher directed time. There is a great opportunity for students to increase memory and recall, while becoming more independent!
Thank you for taking time to review this game activity. Have questions? Then just email me at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com - thank you!
Have a great day!
