Orton-Gillingham Red Words are words that cannot be sounded out phonetically and do not obey any particular phonemic rule.
They are red because the pupils require to stop (like a stop sign) and think about them. They are also labeled “unfair” words because they just require to be memorized. For pupils to read fluently, they need to recognize and read sight words quickly since these words make up around half of the words they will find when reading a text.
Since so many students struggle with actually being able to remember these sight words, using a multi-sensory approach will help them tremendously.
The Red Word instructional progression promotes and stimulates retention. The use of a multi-sensory approach to introduce pronunciation and spelling connected with repeated study and training helps the information to flow from operating memory and save in our long-term memory.
If you are an educator specialized in the education of children with learning difficulties or dyslexia, in this book you will find worksheets and activities that contain:
- A red word for the child to read (he can even paint it with hand color)
- A list of words to point to the given word
- Some short sentences for the kid to identify the red word in it
- A space for them to read and copy a sentence containing the red word
In short, you have a book that is one more resource to help the child improve his writing and reading.
