Beginner Level
Does your child struggle to read two and three syllable words? The Orton Gillingham (OG) philosophy is an instructional approach designed to help individuals with language-based learning difficulties, such as dyslexia. ALL students benefit from explicit, systematic, and multi-sensory instruction to develop strong reading, writing, and spelling skills. Each class, we will learn a new syllable type (and pattern if applicable), then we will practice dividing words on a (virtual) whiteboard and using physical paper. The general scope and sequence of the days will be: Day 1: open/ closed syllables, VC/CV pattern Day 2: magic e syllable, V/CV pattern Day 3: vowel team VC/V pattern Day 4: bossy r syllable V/V Day5: C-le syllable Extra practice words will be sent out after class for extra practice and days 2-5 will begin with a quick review of the correct types / patterns for those words. Note: This course assumes a basic understanding of phonic sounds and the ability to ATTEMPT to spell and read 2 syllable words with some accuracy.
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to apply the 6 syllable types and 4 division patterns to decode multi-syllable words using an Orton Gillingham approach.
Other Details
Learning Needs
All learners benefit from hands on reading instruction, but it is especially helpful in teaching concepts to those with dyslexia. We will physically take the words apart on paper to visually see the individual syllables.
Pre-Requisites
Learner should be able to read one and (some) two syllable words without assistance. We will spend our time practicing on two and three syllable words.
Supply List
For the first class, your student will need pencil, a highlighter or marker, and some index cards (any size or color) OR slips of paper about the size of index cards. For the rest of the classes, students should bring paper and pencil to each class, or a dry erase board with a marker.
