🖍️ See class description for scope and sequence. This will continue with each new set or block of classes. 

🖍️ Classes are set up in groups of 4 weeks, set by the parent and instructor. THIS IN INTENDED TO BE A LONG TERM COMMITMENT. 

🖍️ The number of total sections depends upon the pace of the learner. The amount of phonemic awareness (sounds, syllables, sound manipulation, etc.) needed before beginning letters. Approximately 4 letters/one 4-week session. 

————————————————————————-
Phonemic Awareness is the ability to hear and manipulate the sounds in spoken words and the understanding that spoken words and syllables are made up of sequences of speech sounds (Yopp, 1992; see References).

~Learners will engage in phonemic awareness activities, such as: rhyming, syllables, initial sounds, onset-rime, phoneme segmentation and blending, if informal assessment shows the development of such skills is necessary before phonics instruction. 

Orton-Gillingham Instruction ~
•Structured, Sequential, Cumulative, and 
  Flexible
•Language Based 
•Multi-Sensory
•Reading, spelling, and writing instruction 
  people with dyslexia and other learning 
  disabilities, English Language Learners

Each class will begin with oral/auditory warm-ups with a focus on listening for sounds in words, identifying sound placement, and similarities and differences between words. Learners will practice segmenting and blending sounds using arm movements, manipulatives, fingers. Learners will listen for and match rhyming words. Learners will also practice listening for syllables. 

Next, we will then learn the sound of a letter., focusing on characteristics of the letter and sound. Then using the Orton-Gillingham approach printing practice using tactile surfaces. As we learn new letter/sound combinations, letter placement within a word, we will practice encoding and decoding words. We will practice all skills throughout the course.
