There are many reasons to teach syllable division rules. Your students need a procedure to help them tackle long multisyllabic words. Mastering syllable division helps your students to access a much wider variety of printed material. In this video, I'll share one manipulative I love using to teach V/CV syllable division where the first syllable is an open syllable. And, check out this blog post for the steps to teaching V/CV syllable division: https://www.theliteracynest.com/2022/09/7-steps-for-teaching-v-cv-syllable-division.html Let me know in the comments, your favorite manipulatives to use for syllable division!

Let's talk about SOS or simultaneous oral spelling! You know that is a particularly systematic drill that is used during the dictation portion of an Orton-Gillingham-based lesson. This is where we can test a child's phonemic awareness and encoding. In my experience, often when it comes to SOS, children need a lot of scaffolding! Tune to this video to see the tool I use to scaffold when I am introducing the SOS runtine. Have you seen this tool before? You can find them here: https://amzn.to/3fE8j4Z

I love to talk about children’s books. The two children’s books I’m going to share with you in this post are written to teach children about the Science of Reading (SOR).  We know children are so curious and always have lots of questions. What better way to explain how their brain is working when they’re learning how to read than with a children’s book? These children’s books will open up discussion, offer visuals, and help answer questions in kid-friendly language.

However, grammar can sometimes feel like a bit of an afterthought. Tune in to this video to find out how I weave grammar into my lesson plans in a thoughtful way. And, for my consonant blends practice, check out these great resources: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Emily-Gibbons-The-Literacy-Nest/Category/BLENDS-274966?

In this video, I'm discussing a few ways we can infuse grammar into Orton-Gillingham lessons. Orton-Gillingham isn't just about phonics, it's about developing language. You can use these tips to help your students build vocabulary, grammar, and syntax, as well as their overall language skills! And, remember to make it visual to support language development!

Merging Grammar with Multiple Meaning Words

Emily Gibbons The Literacy Nest February 10, 2023 1:33 pm

In this video, we're taking a closer look at how we can weave grammar into our Orton-Gillingham lessons!

Phonological Awareness

In certain regions and with certain words, we can over-syllabicate or add in extra phonemes. For me, I notice it in how I pronounce the word S-M-I-L-E. Does this happen to you? If so, that is one of the reasons that practicing proper mouth formation is so important. Tune in to this video to find out how I do just that!
