Know the Code: Vowel Team oa

(0)
This multisensory lesson of the vowel team oa, based on the principles of Orton Gillingham, using multisensory strategies, supports students of all ages yet to master the Vowel Team oa. Activities to support the internalization of oa, along with writing activities are included. This multisensory packet includes: Page 1 Title page Page 2 - Informational page Page 3 - Introductory multisensory lesson of oa. Page 4/5 - Two pages of words with oa, one is basic, the second page includes words with basic suffixes Page 6 - Controlled sentences for reading fluency practice Page 7 - Writing activity Page 8 - Phrase oral reading practice Page 9 - Writing Activity Page 10 - Box It Activity - processing and memory development using oa vowel team. Page 11 - Word Search -This is not an activity for all students. I have found that either students love this activity or hate it. If students do not want to do, please refrain. Why? Students with memory, processing,and visual difficulties will struggle and usually become frustrated. But high school age students often go to this page first because they enjoy word searches. Word searches help to internalize the spelling of the words, by slowing down and repeatedly saying the letters/sounds of each word. Please contact me if you have any questions, or require more support. Thank you for your time and please rate this product if you like it! Best wishes, Elizabeth Kenny-Foggin M. S., M.

Know the Code: Root - port
ekennyfogginekennyfoggin

Know the Code: Root - port

(0)
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.

FOLLOW ME AND MULTISENSORY RESOURCES SOLD IN MY SHOP! How? Click on my user name - ekennyfoggin above - then click on the word "Profile." Finally, click on the picture in black and white of people in a group- under the blue rectangle. 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. 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. 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. Thank you.

While many believe students can identify and locate nouns in sentences, the reality is students are not always efficient. A challenge for students is in the identification of concepts/ideas, which are part of a noun description. Unfortunately, when students identify nouns, what it being is a basic note) “…people, places and things….” Students should be able to state “people, places, things and concepts/ideas.” A review of this bundle will highlight opportunities to support student development. Comprehension skills improve when students understand parts of speech within written text. Why? Students can locate the core elements in a sentence – the subject- a noun and verb. .

Struggling readers benefit from knowing the meanings of prefixes like mono-. 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 mono-, and supports word recognition, stronger reading fluency, and improved comprehension. Students in middle school, along with gifted students will benefit completing 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: 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.
