I am an Orton-Gillingham trained teacher .Using strategies based on the  Orton-Gillingham method of teaching reading and fun interactive dialogue students will improve literacy skills such as vocabulary, fluency, spelling, writing, grammar, & reading. For students struggling with spelling and reading. For students who need extra support with reading and spelling, this course will allow students to practice and improve key literacy skills such as phonological awareness, syllable patterns, morpheme structures, writing, word knowledge, & word analysis. Students will learn reading strategies with an interactive approach. This fun innovative class will meet face to face 2 times a week. Students will have an opportunity to learn key literacy skills while engaging in direct teach, hands on, and collaboration with other students. Students will also be introduced to songs, chants and other mnemonic devices to help retain the information. Students will also learn strategies  to help improve their spelling. This course will provide an organized, sequential system with extensive controlled text to help me implement a multi-sensory structured language program. This course is designed for use with students who have difficulty with written language in the areas of decoding (sounding out words) and spelling.
