All 5 LEVELS Orton-Gillingham based LITERASEE CONCEPT CARDS - DOWNLOADS

LiteraSee Concepts Illustrated cards depict the principles of teaching structured literacy to students who struggle to read and spell.

With the determination to fully engage my students, I designed visual aids depicting each literacy concept while training at the Children's Dyslexia Center. This collection of cards wholly transformed how I tutor my students and their ability to retain and apply each lesson. I group​ ​the cards into categories to help make literacy connections and show "the big picture." ​After each lesson, I exhibit the corresponding concept card​ on the student's board to provide a convenient daily review. However, the most rewarding outcome ​of my work ​is the confidence and pride my students gain with each card added to their "wall of achievements."

NOTE: Hard copy LiteraSee cards are available on the LiteraSee Concepts website.

LiteraSee Cards and coordinating Leveled Lesson Plans (sold separately) follow this scope and sequence:

•Level One starts with learning about blends and digraphs. We use syllable types and syllable division to teach about long and short vowel sounds. Spelling rules, such as beginning and ending with the sound of /k/, are essential lessons in Level One. We end with basic grammar and an introduction to prefixes and suffixes. 

•Level Two mainly deals with Anglo-Saxon spelling rules and some exceptions to the rules. We introduce vowel teams and R-controlled words. Level Two ends with the meanings of prefixes, suffixes, and base words and learning how to add suffixes using the Doubling Rule. 

•Level Three examines Anglo-Saxon, Latin, and French influences that affect our understanding and spelling of English words. Lessons include adding suffixes to words ending with -e and -y.

•Level Four primarily teaches Latin and French origins and their effect on English word spellings, sounds, and syllable divisions. We study many affixes and roots at the end of level four.

•Level Five encompasses rare Anglo-Saxon, Latin, French, and Greek spellings of sounds. Greek word parts are the focus at the end of level five.
