Multisensory Individualized Reading and Phonics Instruction

This class offers a multisensory approach to improving a learner's reading skills. 

In the first class, students are assessed on phoneme sounds, spelling sounds, blending sounds together, and sight words. The assessment is to help then design a learner's individualized needs which can then be met in the classes that follow. 

Classes following the assessment will include a review of letters and sounds the learner already knows/has been taught. Then the learner is taught a new sound which will include writing the letter(s) that make that sound, reading words and sentences with that sound, and spelling words with that sound. Following the introduction to the new sound, a learner will then read a passage that has words that include the new sound that was taught. We will also discuss what was read. After that students will practice spelling words that include sounds that the student already knows or was taught in previous lessons. Then students are asked to write a few dictated sentences. Then to conclude the lesson there is a review of what was taught. 

Sometimes games may be played throughout lessons to enhance a student's learning. 

Students will write either on paper or on a whiteboard to show me what they are writing.
