**Lesson Plan Overview: Online Tutoring Session using Orton-Gillingham and the Science of Reading** **Grade Level:** Kindergarten to 5th Grade **Duration:** 60 minutes **Objective:** To enhance students' decoding, comprehension, and reading fluency using structured phonics instruction based on the Orton-Gillingham approach aligned with the Science of Reading principles. --- # Lesson Components: 1. **Warm-Up (10 minutes)** - **Activity:** Quick review of previously learned phonemes and sight words. - **Method:** Use flashcards and interactive online tools (e.g., Kahoot) for engagement. - **Goal:** Assess retention and build confidence. 2. **Phonemic Awareness (10 minutes)** - **Activity:** Sound segmentation and blending exercises. - **Method:** Use a virtual whiteboard for students to practice breaking words into sounds (e.g., "cat" → /k/, /æ/, /t/) and blending them. - **Goal:** Strengthen auditory skills foundational for reading. 3. **Direct Instruction of Phonics (20 minutes)** - **Activity:** Introduce a specific phonetic concept (e.g., vowel digraphs). - **Method:** - Explain the concept using visual aids and examples. - Provide a multisensory experience: have students trace letters in the air, use playdough, or draw, while saying the sounds aloud. - **Goal:** Encourage understanding through visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles. 4. **Guided Practice (10 minutes)** - **Activity:** Reading and decoding words that incorporate the new phonetic concept. - **Method:** Use a digital story or text that emphasizes the targeted phonics skill. - **Goal:** Students read aloud while receiving instant feedback on decoding and pronunciation. 5. **Independent Practice (5 minutes)** - **Activity:** Assign a short, phonics-based online game or worksheet. - **Method:** Allow students to work independently while providing support as needed in breakout rooms. - **Goal:** Reinforce understanding and application of the phonics concept. 6. **Comprehension Check (5 minutes)** - **Activity:** Discuss the main idea and details of the text read during guided practice. - **Method:** Ask open-ended questions to promote critical thinking (e.g., "What was the story about?" "Can you describe the main character?"). -Goal:Assess comprehension and reinforce connections between decoding and understanding. 7. **Closing (5 minutes)** - **Activity:** Review key concepts and assign optional follow-up activities (e.g., reading a book that features the phonics concept). - **Method:** Encourage student to share one new thing they learned. - **Goal:** Foster a sense of achievement and excitement about reading. --- Materials Needed: - Interactive online whiteboard (e.g., Jamboard) - Phonics/reading resources (digital texts or stories) - Flashcards for phonemes and sight words - Online games/worksheets aligned with phonics concepts Assessment: - Monitor student engagement and understanding throughout the session. - Use informal assessments through responses during discussions and reading exercises. Outcome: Students will emerge with improved phonemic awareness, decoding skills, and a greater understanding of reading concepts, fostering their overall literacy development in alignment with the principles of the Science of Reading and the structured, multisensory approach of Orton-Gillingham.

I had the privilege of working alongside Rachel in a special education setting, and I can confidently say they are one of the most dedicated and compassionate educators I have encountered. Their ability to create a supportive and inclusive learning environment is truly remarkable.
Rachel demonstrates deep knowledge of individualized education plans (IEPs) and works tirelessly to ensure that every student receives the tailored support they need. They are patient, adaptable, and always advocate for their students' best interests. Their collaboration with colleagues and communication with parents are exceptional, making them a valued member of any educational team.
Beyond their expertise, Rachel leads with kindness and integrity. They build strong relationships with students, fostering trust and confidence that allows each child to thrive. Any school would be fortunate to have them as part of their team.She works extremely hard and is very motivated to help her students succeed. As a special education teacher, she understands confidentiality. Rachel doesn’t want to disappoint anyone and wants to see her students make progress.
