Beginner Level
This course is particularly well-suited for beginners, individuals with dyslexia, including neurodivergent learners, as well as readers, writers, and spellers who may have a short attention span or face challenges in their phonemic awareness learning. The structured approach of this course is designed to facilitate their success! This module promotes self-directed learning, allowing students to build their confidence and independence through the Orton-Gillingham method, focusing on phonemic awareness of the alphabet. The main objective is to familiarize learners with each letter's name, provide a visual representation that illustrates the initial or final sound of the letter, and encourage them to audibly replicate that sound. Students will discover the distinction between consonants and vowels, understand their definitions, and learn how many letters comprise each category, including the short vowel sounds. Each lesson is designed to be completed within 10 to 20 minutes, enhancing letter recognition and sound fluency for accurate and effortless reading. This encompasses an expansion of game elements featured in each lesson, which is designed to encourage turn-taking, facilitate the development of relationships, improve memory recall, foster patience, and aid in the application of learned skills. It is essential for students to follow the *I do, you do* strategy presented in the detailed instructions of each lesson. Focusing on each letter in isolation, as demonstrated, is highly recommended. By concentrating on one lesson at a time in a systematic order, students can effectively master all letter sounds within a five-week timeframe. I invite parents and students to share their work and or feedback :)

Curriculum
Follows Orton-Gillingham Curriculum6 Lessons
over 6 WeeksLesson 1:
Consonants: f, m, s, n
In L1, learners are introduced to the consonant letters, including the definition and then number of consonants in the alphabet. The lesson specifically highlights the letters f, m, s, and n. Learners will engage in actively listening then reading these letters, viewing visual representations of objects that start with each letter, and connecting the sounds to the letters. The lessons are designed to capture the learners' attention, promote turn-taking, and emphasize repetition. *Hide and seek* Lesson 2:
Consonants: v, z, j, t
L2 focuses on building upon the foundation laid in L1 by introducing the letters v, z, j, and t.Learners will participate in activities that involve reading these letters, exploring visual images of items that begin with each letter, and linking the sounds to their corresponding letters.The lessons are crafted to engage learners, encourage turn-taking, and highlight the importance of repetition to help them recognize items in their surroundings that share the same letter and sound. *Tic Tac,Toe* Lesson 3:
Consonants: b, p, w, d
L3 is designed to expand on the ground work established in L1-2 by incorporating the letters b, p, w, and d. Learners will engage in activities that include reading these letters, looking at images of objects that begin with each letter, and associating the sounds with their corresponding letters. The lessons are thoughtfully structured to maintain students' attention, promote patience and turn-taking, and emphasize repetition in helping them identify items in their surroundings. *Knock,Knock* Lesson 4:
Consonants: c, k, g, h
L4 inspires learners to stay motivated s learners to remain engaged while they listen to and read the letters c, k, g, and h. To aid in their learning, learners are invited to place their fingers beneath their lips as they articulate each letter and its sound, which helps them visualize the different mouth shapes used in pronunciation. Learners can practice repeating the letters and sounds as many times as they desire to enhance their fluency. *Match the Card Game* Other Details
