I welcomed all that you have advised us. i avoided having my daughter being taught using words and whole language approach and that is because of your reading program rb.gy/xgziyp And I’m looking forward to see my kid becoming one of the most excellent student in school soon.
When working with a dyslexic student I feel you should sit in the same side of the table. I know teachers are used to standing in front of a class, however, for one on one instruction it is so much easier and better for the student.
This is great for reviewing what the child knows already. Particularly how to use silent magic e. This is a tricky concept for most kids but what a great way of allowing the child to show what she knows.
Gives me ideas for my OG tutoring kids, and for small group activities in kinder class. Closed, open, silent e drill was something not taught in my OG training so this is great.
This is really a performance assessment. The teaching would group these objectives and teach them seperate as mini lessons. I found it fantastic. This teacher is very experienced and models sincere positive reinforcement and modeling. I hope one day to be on her level.
Thank you for this webinar. It was extremely helpful. I have a question… where can I find the Morrison McCall Spelling tests? I have googled it but haven’t had much luck. Is it a book I need to purchase, or a download? Sorry if that is a slightly dumb question!
I am dyslexic and this is what my parents did to me to help me learn Greek and English, while the teacher at school was sticking to “read the hole word ” method and when I was slow or made a mistake she’d scream stuff like ” What’s wrong with you and you cant be like the other kids!”. Schools need more teachers like this lady over here! and probably this form of learning wouldnt benefit just dyslexic kids but everyone…

This is definitely an assessment/review, not a lesson. OG lessons have a lot of kinesthetic activities in them that are not shown here.
