Susan Nolan teaches an Orton Gillingham lesson with a 4th grade dyslexic child

[@christineblumke8493]

I needed this teacher when I was at school in the 70s... I had no help 😭 🇭🇲

[@erniadelina7081]

The child is smart. Thanks for sharing the strategies, Susan.

Clip the 'uh' sound off the end!

[@alyanahzoe]

no! i pronounce sounds like this!

[@wendy4ronpaul]

Parents.Make the cards yourself.. there is a whole world of supplies at your finger tips...depending on the age.. start as early as 2-3 years of age.. .. finger paint in a ziplock bag for writing.. tracing the shape on fine sand paper..then advance .. turn off the TV.. 1-2 hours at the most per day... slows down speech.. attention span.... just because they can sit in front of a TV for hours.. doesn’t mean they can Concentrate for long periods of time while learning ... just the opposite.. that is a fact..🙏👵🏻🙏

In the Caribbean we have students learning to read quickly and doing well despite a lot of teachers teach phonics with the schwa sound. Tye schwa sound only interferes with some of the whole word pronounciations but once you have audio to help them with the correct pronounciation they do well.

[@angelat9598]

Shouldn't sounds be enunciated clearly and cleanly, without the "u" sound added at the end?

[@madocyrix]

Yes, this is truly unclear, but I got the way of teaching

[@caitlinsheehan]

yes. she corrected him initially, but did not continue to correct his addition of the schwa sound

[@kellymaaraba4154]

@@caitlinsheehanthe tutor is saying it as /uh/ every time too. That is incorrect.

[@alyanahzoe]

@@kellymaaraba4154 it is correct for me! no arguing!

Thank you this videos was very helpful

Thank you Miss....good lesson for ne

[@jiminhan3396]

great video!! thank you so much!

[@juliacarvalho3397]

Is she using a specific curriculum?

[@teddimartin1973]

Can the cards she is using be purchased? Or is there a list and I can make my own?

[@katiaenmiami4901]

I hope they give you an answer soon. I need to know the same thing.

[@mistyubina5572]

Yes, at the Orton-Gillingham site

[@bartink]

You can also make them on index cards. You want to use index cards at some point anyway so that you can customize for your student. If they are having trouble with certain words, word families, letter clusters, etc, you want to put them on index cards until they master it.

[@carolynvandre6570]

Brainspring has a good set. But I made my own because I don’t like the hyphens.

[@wednesday55]

I don’t like the hyphens either. I white them out.

[@euniteach1302]

this video is great and very helpful

[@theresespoerlghjq1376]

Alison, I agree.

[@tammychung9526]

How about "oyster"?

[@ruzailic7254]

Need this t lady to help me😢😢😢

[@alyanahzoe]

friend, pause at 1:27 and say “끝! 또 봐요!“

[@laurenthompson4533]

If it were me, I would have had him write the /oi/ words she was dictating to him. Time spent handwriting those words would have contributed to him orthographically mapping the spelling patterns and the words. Also, recent research has suggested that teaching sound-letter correspondences at the phoneme level, rather than the level of blends, is more effective. Why teach -nd as a unit? If he knows /n/ = n and /d/ = d, he can work out how to read and spell words and syllables that end that way. The cognitive load demand that comes with having him learn blends as units is not warranted.

[@wednesday55]

It’s not much of a cognitive load.

[@caitlinsheehan]

learning “chunks” is more efficient because then the student does not have to decode each individual sound when reading words in connected text. this will improve his fluency

[@AshleyShifflett-t6j]

​@caitlinsheehan I agree. I have done both with my dyslexic 9 y.o and the blends were a huge help to him

[@brightlightmorning6549]

This is a typical grade four dyslexia. Just like my daughter

[@logopedianeshqip4526]

Very good thank you very much

[@connilondon6165]

I'm sorry, but she is having this student mispronounce ... 'fr' is not fru 'st' is not stu. there should not be any ahh' at the end. We have to go back and unteach this

[@alyanahzoe]

yes, there should! that is how i pronounce them.

[@alisonmcmillan1371]

Oh I cannot believe this. She is perpetuating this child's problems by teaching the schwa sound (adding the /uh/) This is terrible. Shocking .....

[@carryragsdale7434]

I notice she corrected him for doing it once in the beginning of the video than she went with it. I'm trying to reteach myself not to do that so I can tutor my kids. I need a good sample video if you know of one. :)

[@misse1228]

It's clear that she's taught him not to add the "uh" sound. But, at his age, his likelihood of actually understanding WHY he shouldn't include the "uh" sound is pretty low. She's not going to waste her entire time during the lesson correcting that mistake, because it takes away from the learning process.

[@lizzielh]

I disagree, he needs to be corrected at the start so he doesn;t add the schwa. Otherwise it will be too difficult to correct later

[@theresespoerlghjq1376]

Susan, adding a schwa sound to the end of consonant blends…NO
