Letter Reversals magic c Strategy: When writing magic c letters, teach students to make the letter c and teach them to write c when they begin a, d, g. Those letters will then face the right way. To distinguish between b and d , look for the magic c . Olsen, Jan Z. Handwriting Without Tears 3
Far-Point Copying We have to TEACH students how to copy. Begin by modeling - one letter at a time, then letter combinations, then words, then phrases, then short sentences. 4
Phonemic Awareness: Know your students' phonemic awareness abilities and address and build on these, daily. PA strategies are easily implemented throughout the day - transition times are a great opportunity. 5
Tapping to Decode Because students will often be holding a pencil, train them to tap with their non- dominant hand. Tap left to right, to reinforce reading left to right - right-hand, begin with pinky - left- hand, begin with thumb. Tap for each sound (phonogram), rather than individual letters - s t r e tch. Make this a natural part of reading everyday, so it becomes a habit. 6
Blending Strategy When a student struggles to read a word and tapping doesn t help: underline first sound, say sound? , underline first and second sound, say sound? , continue, as needed, to end of word, then read the word. s tretch - s s t retch - st st retch - str str etch - stre stre tch - stretch stretch c at - c c a t - ca ca t - cat cat 7
Sight Words 1. Introduce the word and discuss it. Spell and read the word 3 times (can add gestures). Spell, write, and read the word 3 times. Cover and write the word without looking. Review: Spell and read, as needed. 2. 3. 4. 5. 8

Syllabication Rabbit Words - rab-bit - Closed Syllable (ends with a consonant and vowel sound is short) Reptile Words - rep-tile - magic e Penny Words - pen-ny Tulip Words - tu-lip - Open Syllable (ends with a vowel and the vowel sound is long) Consonant -le - can-dle - ma-ple Camel Words - cam-el 10
Syllabication (continued) Hornet Words - hor-net - r-controlled Pilgrim Words - pil-grim tion/sion - con-struc-tion - man-sion Bandaid - band-aid - vowel teams Cowboy - cow-boy - compound words Violin Words - vi-o-lin Crazy i - con-ti-nent Connectives - reg-u-lar 11
Spot and Dot Syllables -Find the vowels and dot them. f a n t a s t i c 1 2 1 2 -Count the consonants between vowels. -Even # of consonants split between them unless they make only one sound. -Odd # of consonants odds are the middle consonant goes with the next syllable. t u l i p c a m e l
Barton Reading And Spelling System By Susan Barton Susan Barton s system uses a strategy similar to spot and dot , but more multi-sensory. Use letter tiles that have a different color for the vowels (including y and w). Spell the word. Use forefingers to move the vowels aside, count the consonants between the vowels, and manipulate the consonants to divide the syllables. fa nt a st i c = fan tas tic
Reverse Direction Decoding by Kenneth Wesson 1. Pre-read a paragraph, a small section of a book or a chapter. 2. Identify all unfamiliar words and difficult multisyllabic words. 3. Write them in a list form in one column. 4. Use the chart to divide those words into syllables in the second column. 5. Place your left thumb or a small rectangular piece of paper over all but the very last syllable of the word. 6. Pronounce the last syllable. 14
7. Now, uncover the last two syllables and pronounce them in their proper order, beginning with the second-to-last syllable. 8. Reveal only one additional syllable at a time, moving toward the left and away from the very last syllable. Pronounce the last three syllables in their proper order; then pronounce the last four syllables in order, etc., until all syllables have been uncovered and read in order. 9. Read the complete word three or four times, until it no longer needs to be read completely in order to pronounce it entirely. 10. The word should be recognizable and should have moved into your sight vocabulary. 15

COPS Dictation Strategy Teacher dictates the sentence Students and teacher repeat Students write the sentence Students use COPS strategy to self-check This strategy can also be used paragraphs 17
COPS Strategy for Dictation C - capitalization O - organization Paragraph indent? Does it make sense? P - punctuation S - spelling 18
C O P S the dog run the to pon 19
Fit for Life do you no what diet means some people think it means eting less food to weight lose the real meaning of diet is eating foods to stay healty a healthful diet includes fruits and vegetables those foods are grate sources of nutrients nutrients are substances that al living things need
The Take-Away: Repetition is the key. Daily practice using the OG strategies is your best friend. You can slow down skill introduction, if needed, but don't stall. Just continue to add phonograms, syllabication, and morphology, and practice daily, in everything you do. 21
Morphology Word Prefix Suffix manly mislay cloudy motionless 22
Suffixes = parts of speech: Examples: Nouns Verbs Adjectives -age -tion/-sion/-ation -ed -ize -able/-ible -cial/-cient /-ial / -tial/-tious -ful/-less/-most -ish -tious/-cious/-eous/- ous -ess/-ness -ism/-ist -ment -tiate/-ciate -fy -ship
Tic Tac Toe Variation (for large and small groups) 1.Students divide up into two groups and select X or O . 2. Teams take turns spelling words selected by the teacher (words that match the Phonics rules taught) - if they are correct, they then place X or O on the square of their choice. 3. The winner is the team that three horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Orton Gillingham 25
