Description
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).
Orton-Gillingham Instruction ~
•Structured
•Sequential
•Cumulative
•Flexible
•Language Based
•Multi-Sensory
Reading, spelling, and writing instruction perfect for people with dyslexia and other learning and language disabilities, English Language Learners, Kindergarten readiness.
Lessons
Each class will begin with oral/auditory warm-ups with a focus on listening for sounds in words, identifying sound placement, and similarities and differences between words. Learners will practice segmenting and blending sounds using arm movements, manipulatives, fingers. Learners will listen for and match rhyming words. Learners will also practice listening for syllables.
Using the Orton-Gillingham approach printing practice using tactile surfaces. As we learn new letter/sound combinations, letter placement within a word, we will practice encoding and decoding words. We will practice all skills throughout the course.
EACH WEEK WE WILL FOLLOW THE SAME SEQUENCE FOR EACH LETTER.
