About the store
I have taught for 27 years as a special education teacher and have been the Dyslexic Specialist on my campus for the past 10 years. This year, I left special education to move into a first grade classroom. As a special ed teacher, I did not see the students until they were so far behind, it would be almost impossible to provide enough remediation to get them back up to grade level. It is my hope that by catching them early, perhaps I through earlyintervention, I can prevent some of the special ed referrals later on... only time will tell, but I am loving first grade!

Digraphs and Vowel Patterns Multi sensory Cards
For years, as a special ed teacher, I watched my students struggle so long and hard to learn their letters and sounds. Using some solid research about reading interventions for dyslexic, ADD and ELL students, and a lot of trial and error, I developed a set of alphabet cards. Each letter has a picture, a sound and a motion. The cards were so successful, that I decided to go to the next level and make a set of digraph and vowel pattern cards. The students rely heavily on the pictures at first, bu

My students remember concepts so much better when there is a story to go with the concept. This zipped file contains a power point telling the regrouping story, a ones and tens workmat, a ones, tens and hundreds work mat and ones, tens, and hundreds counters.

Fact Families! Easy to Teach-Easy to learn!
Fact families are an important math concept for first grade, but is often difficult for students who are dyslexic (all those numbers in different order!) or have attention difficulties or short-term memory problems. Research has shown that if a familiar image or memory is linked with a new concept, the concept will be learned more quickly and retained in the memory banks of the brain. Included in this file is a power point, graphic organizers and a lesson plan. I hope you have as much success

Decoding Practice Flashcards
This is a perfect warm up for guided reading groups or as a Word Work option for your balanced literacy program. I designed this for my dyslexic students and students who just could not blend the individual sounds together to make words. They wanted to read so badly, but needed some extra visual and kinesthetic cues to help with their auditory deficits. Each word is underlined with a small green dot at the beginning of the word. Letters are color coded- short vowels are red, long vowels wit

Writing Paper for Students with Dyslexia
•Students with dyslexia often have great difficulty writing. Let’s set aside the struggle with backward letters and inverted words for just a moment. Just knowing where to start on the paper is often very daunting. The physical process of writing the words in the correct order on the line is so exhausting, there is no energy left to write with any kind of creativity. • • To eliminate some of these difficulties, I have shaded the background with a soft gray, and highlighted the writing space its

In this bundle, I have created enough practice sheets for 10 days of addition practice and 10 days of subtraction practice and 10 days of mixed practice. The first five practice sheets only have 20 problems per page, and the second five practice sheets have 40 problems per page to increase stamina. Each practice page also has a duplicat

Teaching style
Students with learning difficulties most often learn best with hands on activities and materials that provide visual cues. They tend to need more time to review, so many of my activities and strategies are centered around providing the needed review, but providing the review in several different venues so the students aren't bored out of their brains!
