(Type this in the URL. Do not copy and paste. There are a lot of sample lessons available. Click on “View Our Products” and then on each individual book. Scroll down to just before “Frequently asked

questions” for sample lessons. Click and print. Great product for

parents or anyone who has not had the formal training.  Step by step instructions using O-G techniques. Uses tiles and magnetic white board.)

 

“The Letterbox Lesson” (Great website for many ideas for multisensory teaching. Great downloads available including decodable stories for use with power point.)

Word Works Literacy Center.  www.WordWorksKingston.com. “Teaching How the Written Word Works” by Peter Bowers. Uses morphological problem-solving to develop students’ language skills and engagement with the written word. (Check out this great interactive way of developing vocabulary and knowledge of word structure.

 

The Word Workout Method – a unique way to approach tackling words of 3 or more syllables. Click on “Computer Programs”.  I recommend the CD and workbook to go with it.  Good price when you buy both. About $45. ( I love this program for older students – age 12 and older - who have had some O-G basic level 1 instruction.  CHECK THIS OUT!
