음성학(여름) 오튼-길링엄, 독서 장애, 독해, 철자, 시각 단어

In this series, students will be introduced to phonics through a kinaesthetic approach.  Both decoding and encoding skills will be implemented in a sequential format.  
Over the eight weeks, we will cover the following:
• vowels/consonants
• short/long vowels
• definition of a syllable
• vowel teams 
• r'controls 
• common sight words 
•plural
•baseword/suffix
Week 1: single consonants/blends: ch, sh, th (sight words - of, to)
Week 2: v-e: a-e, e-e, i-e, o-e, u-e (sight words - said, have)
Week 3: ar, ck (sight words - are, what)
Week 4: ee, ea (been, because)
Week 5: ai, oa (again, were)
Week 6: ur, ir (where, some/come)
Week 7: er, ing (were, do)
Week 8: Plural/baseword & suffix (above, one)

This class is taught in a multi-sensory environment.  The objective of these sessions is to promote fluency and phonemic awareness.  This class is for any student who is either struggling in reading, is an emergent reader, or needs more reinforcement in both spelling and reading.

Each class will focus on a new phonogram or spelling rule.  We will also review previously learned sounds/rules.  Students will practice reading and spelling each session and learn a new sight word.  

Each session we will allot a specific time for:
• review the previous concept through auditory & visual drills (10 min)
• learn a new concept (15 min) 
• learn new sight word (5 min)
• mixed spelling dictations/mixed ratios of previously learned concepts (10 min)
• review new learned phonogram/spelling rule/concept and sight word (5 min)

THE ABOVE IS A LOOSE SCHEDULE AND IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE DEPENDING ON THE NEEDS OF THE STUDENTS.

The Orton-Gillingham approach has been used since the 1930s and involves a sequential phonics-based system in which the basics of word formation is focused on. Students are taught through three learning modalities: visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic.

All documents and worksheets will be provided for printing prior to each class.

*PARENTS PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PRIOR TO REGISTRATION*

Please note that I am NOT always able to check messages from parents during class time.  I will do my best to get back to parents as soon as I'm able to.  However, I normally teach 6-7 classes per day and my schedule does not permit me to always be available to check the messages.  
Your understanding is greatly appreciated. :)

Learners can withdraw with a refund up to ONE WEEK before class starts, or within 24 hours of purchase. Refunds are NOT given for withdraws outside this window.
