Know the Code: Syllable Types Game

Know the Code: Syllable Types Game

(0)
If you are looking for a multisensory game resource for your students to support reading, this is the game resource to purchase. This game focuses on the syllable types students should know. All students should automatically use their reading skills to "unlock" unknown words, and know the syllable types is a must! This has been one of my biggest sellers in another market, and teachers continue to share the value of this resource. What teachers like the most is, students can work with a small group or partner, freeing up "teacher time" for other instructional responsibilities. The best part of all is students internalize the different syllable types. This resource is worth every pound! Do you have questions? Please email me at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com. Thank you.

Thank you for taking time to preview this multisensory lesson and activities based on the principles of the Orton Gillingham, using a multisensory approach. The expression, "Pictures are worth a thousand words" could not be more true when looking at the cute little pup on the cover. the picture of the pup is a great one to entice younger students to want to find out why it is on the cover! Such a sneaky trick, but worth it when students want to learn about the consonant "p." If you have any questions, please email me at ekennyfoggin@gmail.com. Thanks. Elizabeth Kenny-Foggin M. S., M.

This unit is based on Orton Gillingham Multisensory Language Development principles. The Vowel Team ea has the long sound of /e/. There is another sound for ea - short vowel sound e. But the second pronounciation should be presented later Why? It is less common than the Vowel Team ea. Want to view the short e sounding ea lesson. Then go to : https://www.tes.com/uploader/v2/11155773/preview A sampling of skills developed with this multisensory unit: “Vowel team “ea” Reading Reading Strategies Writing Activities Parts of Speech Syllabication and Accents Comprehension Reading fluency Processing speed Working Memory Long term memory Word Retrieval Students will develop stronger decoding, along with an enhanced vocabulary using a multisensory approach Brain development and degrees of maturation are as varied and as different as each student. This unit places a great deal of repetition, review, practice using multisensory strategies and techniques. It is important students have time to process skills. Otherwise, students may only memorize, rather than comprehend. Memorization can be very limiting, when compared to deep comprehension.

Know the Code: Spelling Rule  "E Rule"

Know the Code: Spelling Rule "E Rule"

(0)
This multisensory PDF resource is for students learning the "E" rule using the principles of the Orton Gillingham. Students are introduced to the concept of the E Rule through explicit, sequential steps, along with numerous activities to help internalize the concept to automaticity. Additional activities are included for students that are optional: A word search and unscrambling words. However, do not make the word search and unscrambling of words mandatory since students with visual processing challenges will potentially struggle. The knowledge of this concept requires support for some struggling students in the higher grades. So, this can be a differentiation activity for struggling readers, spellers and writers. It is up to the teacher and/or parent to determine which activities are best suited for the individual using this resource for academic development.

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: Roots - spec, spect, spic
ekennyfogginekennyfoggin

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.
