#1 Orton-Gillingham Spell, Write & Read - Short Vowels & Digraphs (SELF-PACED)
In this engaging, multi-sensory, phonics course we will use the Orton-Gillingham approach to learn about, spell, write and read combinations of letter sounds. It was developed for children with dyslexia and dysgraphia but would benefit all.

1 hour per week. -Learners may submit a written answer to the question I ask at the end of each video lesson. It will be a question related to the story they read that's presented in the lesson. I can then observe their writing and spelling and provide either written or video feedback. -At the end of the video/lesson we will play "Guess the Word". There will be a word related to the spelling skill for that lesson. Learners may submit a guess as to what the word is by video, by photo or by discussion in the classroom. For example: The category is animals. There are 3 blanks. They guess a short vowel word that is an animal with 3 letters. I will give another clue during the next video lesson. I will then tell them the answer in the following lesson (ex. cat). -Learners may also provide a video of them reading the passage from the lesson. -I will attach 1-3 worksheets to each video post. These are OPTIONAL.Grading
I will assess/give feedback on learners' written responses as well as the practice sheets upon request.Class Experience

🌞 Each of my self-paced classes are numbered to help with the order in which you could take them. But of course pick and choose the courses/concepts that your learner would benefit from some extra instruction and practice. 🌞 In this SELF-PACED video course learners will have engaging, explicit, multi-sensory instruction based on the Orton-Gillingham approach. We will do a deeper dive into short vowels and digraphs spending multiple lessons on each concept. During these videos I will use various props (vowel sticks, hand motions for short vowels ✋, etc.). ⭐ Learners will practice by tracing sounds with their fingers kinesthetically on an object of their choice (see supply list). ⭐ Next learners will touch spell and write words. I will offer a variety of sizes of words (short, medium, long) for them to choose from. ⭐ Then they will read isolated words and words in a sentence. ⭐ Finally they will read a passage and answer a question about it. *I will attach 1-3 worksheets to each video lesson for optional additional practice.* The Orton-Gillingham approach was developed for children with dyslexia or dysgraphia. If your child has been diagnosed with either of these this class is for you. A systematic approach to teaching phonics is perfect for any child who needs some extra support in that area. 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.

Supply List
-Any object that has texture (sandpaper, towel, sand on a plate, plastic needlepoint canvas, etc.) Pop Its work great! They can even trace on the surface of their table or desk.
-I have also attached a sheet to the first lesson that we will be using. If you don't have access to a printer you can just use a piece of paper or a whiteboard.
-(JUST for the Short Vowel videos) I have attached a sheet to the first lesson that has the vowels on it. You can print it and/or cut them apart for class. Learners will point to or hold up the correct vowel when asked. If you don't have access to a printer you can just write the vowels on a piece of paper.
