Assessments

Students are assessed during the first class to get an idea of strengths and weaknesses. Students will be assessed informally during each class, which will “drive” instruction/homework. 

Lessons Goals

Students will gain strategies, learn rules about patterns and grammar....in which to develop and/or strengthen skills in reading and spelling, as well as reading comprehension, and reading and writing fluency skills. It will also provide learners with practice for oral reading and oral language development.

Orton-Gillingham

“Phonemic Awareness is the ability to hear and manipulate the sounds in spoken words and the understanding that spoken words and syllables are made up of sequences of speech sounds”(Yopp, 1992; see References).

•Structured, Sequential, Cumulative, and Flexible 

•Language Based 

•Multi-Sensory 

•Reading, spelling, and writing instruction for people with dyslexia and other learning disabilities, English Language Learners. 

Lessons

Each class will begin with oral/auditory warm-ups with a focus on listening identifying phonemes and sounds, for sounds in words, identifying sound/phoneme placement, and similarities and differences between words. 

Each class will be a cumulative review of past spelling and language rules and phonemes from previous classes, in addition to new material. 

Students will practice reading and spelling words from previous weeks. They will read passages with review and new patterns, and answer related questions . Sentences with review and new patterns will be dictated to learners for spelling and sentence writing practice.  

New material will be presented during each class. However, the pace is based on student needs and grasp of material. Students will be assessed initially and through observation during class time. 

Materials 

Handouts (Student Recording Sheets) will be provided before each class. 

A printer for weekly printouts for each lesson. A 3-ring binder or folder for each lesson for future reference. (A notebook to write lessons in if choosing not to print handouts.)

Pencil.
