WOW, I can read many four letter words, but what about all those other tricky words? Did you know that q has a best friend, every syllable has a vowel, words like floss follow the “floss rule”, that letter R is very bossy and that vowels work in teams? In this group based on Orton Gillingham practices my friends will dive into more complicated word patterns through games, word challenges, written expression and picture books all while increasing vocabulary and gaining reading accuracy and fluency. By gaining confidence in word decoding, students will be able to read more complex texts and focus more easily on language comprehension and other higher order reading comprehension skills.
