Beyond Associate seminars are designed for teachers who have completed Associateor Classroom Educator Orton-Gillingham training and seek further enhancement of their diagnostic and prescriptive teaching skills. Join us in this live virtual format!
In what ways can we teach spelling as a thinking skill rather than a memorizing skill? In this seminar, we will examine how we think about spelling in all of the OG lesson associations. Come learn some multisensory strategies for sound confusions and spelling generalizations and explore rigor in designing spelling exercises.
Infusing Vocabulary and Comprehension Skills into the OG Lesson
October 4
6:00-8:00pm
Remote Live Instruction
In this session, we will discuss multisensory ways to enhance vocabulary and comprehension skills through activities such as categorizing, working with multiple meaning words, and reading connected text in engaging formats. Participants will gain ideas for helping students beyond the level of decoding.
How do we help students who can’t retrieve the names of the phonograms? How do we remediate b/d confusions? What can we do for students who skip little words? In this session, we will problem solve common tricky situations that arise in the OG lesson and you will come away with concrete strategies to help students transfer skills outside of tutorials. Since OG is not a program, we also will discuss skill sequence and making decisions about what to teach "next."
In this session, we will review the Anglo-Saxon, Latin, and Greek layers of the language, focusing on how to teach early skills from the Latin layer. We will explore how to introduce morphemes and how to incorporate them in an Orton-Gillingham lesson in a multisensory way. Come learn some activities to reinforce this level of word work that enhances vocabulary and comprehension skills.
