Today I had the awesome opportunity to see one of my students make substantial progress. Before I begin my Orton-Gillingham lesson, I do a phoneme awareness drill of rhymes and onsets and phoneme identification. Then I have my student sound-out words. Thankfully, I found out that by placing tactile letters one at a time in front of my student while he touched and sounded-out each letter of a word, he learned such words as cog, cad, cod, gag and dog. My student had an extremely difficult time sounding out-words, but now he can do them easily with the help of tactile cues.
There are wonderful resources to help train individuals with learning disabilities. Check out www.espbooks.com.
