Ortografía para secundaria con listas y pruebas semanales, aptas para dislexia, a tu propio ritmo

🌟  Instruction follows the Phono-Graphix method for teaching reading and spelling which was developed with students with Dyslexia in mind. The Phono-Graphix method is very similar to Orton-Gillingham and is based on the Science of Reading.

📝 Students will be assigned a weekly spelling list. A list of 30 words and 5 "bonus words" will be provided.  Video instruction will present an explanation of the patterns in the words and spelling rules as they apply. Instructional videos will include proper usage of the spelling words, as well as age-appropriate definitions. 

Three instructional videos will be posted each week. Average video length for each lesson is approximately 20 minutes. 

🔥 Enjoy access to our new AI "Student Room" where students can use AI to make reading and writing more interactive. Chat with your favorite book character, get writing ideas, write a song from your lesson word lists, or engage in an epic rap battle with your favorite character or famous person in history! 

📅 This class was created with a suggested weekly learning schedule with the first lesson on Monday, lesson two on Wednesday, and lesson three on Friday. The videos are labeled to reflect which lesson to do on which day. 

Your learner does not need to follow this schedule, but it is recommended that students complete the assignments between lessons. The lessons were not intended to be viewed all in one day and especially not to be viewed in one sitting. 

📹 Monday instructional video: Introduction of the word list. I will model how students should sort their list to best learn the spellings. Word usage and age-appropriate definitions will be discussed. Student-Teacher interaction following this video lesson includes sharing the sorted list and creative sentences with the teacher for feedback.

📹 Wednesday instructional video: "Spelling for the Visual Learner." In this video, I will model how to add color and shapes to the spelling words to identify where all the sounds and syllables are in each word and how each sound is spelled. (Colored pencils or fine-tipped markers are highly recommended when following this lesson!). This video session also addresses study skills so that students learn how to study effectively for their spelling tests. Many of these skills carry over to other academic classes as well.

✍ Student-Teacher interaction following this video lesson includes students posting their creative work using shapes and colors that make the spellings more memorable for their unique style.  


📹 Friday instructional video: Instruction is provided on words that students often struggle with on the list and tips are shared as to how to remember them for the test and beyond. After a refresher on frequently missed spelling words from the list, a spelling test is given. Students are expected to follow the video to write the spelling words as they are called. I use the spelling words in sentences to clarify ambiguity concerning homophones. Students will write the spelling words and follow along with me to check their work for accuracy. Students are encouraged to post their tests in either a private message to me or to the classroom. 

✍🏻 Teacher-created worksheets will be available for additional weekly practice. A minimum of two homework submissions per week are recommended.   A video-prompted spelling test is included in the third lesson so students can measure their level of success.  Each week a new list will be assigned.
