Orton-Gillingham Spell, Write & Read - Next Steps
About This Activity
Does your child need support with spelling and reading? I can help! In this engaging class we will use the Orton-Gillingham approach to practice spelling concepts that are a bit more advanced. Worksheets included!
Improve your child's confidence in spelling and reading with this class! I'm here to support you and provide a warm, safe space for your child to learn.
During this class, learners will have engaging, explicit, multi-sensory instruction based on the Orton-Gillingham approach. It was developed for children with dyslexia or dysgraphia but would benefit any child. We will spend one week working on each of the spelling concepts that are a bit less common and a bit more advanced. 1-2 worksheets will be attached to my classroom posts for optional additional practice.
Learners will:
⭐Trace sounds with their fingers kinesthetically on an object of their choice (see supply list).
⭐Touch spell.
⭐Write dictated words. I offer a variety of sizes of words (shorter and longer) for them to choose from.
⭐Write a dictated sentence.
⭐Read isolated words and a short text.
The Orton-Gillingham approach was developed for children with dyslexia or dysgraphia. If your child has been diagnosed with either of those this class is for you. A systematic approach to teaching phonics is perfect for any child who needs some extra support in that area.
**Prerequisite - must know all of their letter sounds as well as digraphs (sh, ch, th) and magic 'e'/silent 'e'.
Dr. Samuel Orton said, "Analyze the language to be learned into its smallest useful elements-the sounds we hear and speak and the graphic symbols we use when we read and write. This reduces to a minimum the necessary memory load, a major problem for those who find language learning difficult. "
