Thanks! At some point I may take each syllable separately and do a deep dive on each one for more thorough presentations of each syllable. I felt kinda rushed at the end when I noticed how long the video was getting. Do you have any tips for teaching syllables from your training? I forgot to put in a list training resources for OG. IMSE, Michigan Dyslexia Institute and Montessori Medical Partnership for Inclusion are the ones that come to mind at the moment (although MMPI does not do a formal OG training, but Catherine Massie @catherinemassie4525 does give a lot of good tips and overviews in her lectures).
So very helpful! Thankyou! I will share your ideas and work with all my young teachers, who are my daughters and 4 daughters in law, and their friends! Ann Marie
Wonderful! I'm so glad you like it! It's been a work in progress to figure out how to blend these ideas together. There's a real need for Montessori teachers to get their Orton Gillingham training and figure out how to adapt our lessons to better serve our students!
Great to hear! I also created a "what's missing game" that worked well in my classroom too. The students loved playing this game and it really reinforced beginning phonics sounds and symbols while also incorporating peer learning so they could be totally independent with this activity. ruclips.net/video/ikXaJMlxzhw/видео.htmlsi=ZX4qHKNltee9kEfp
Sorry this video is so long but I wanted to make one full video on the syllables. I can break each syllable down later in separate videos if you want more information. Hopefully the chapters I've included will help you navigate the video so you can watch a little at a time. I've also included links for resources and other videos that might help under the video in the description box (below the timecodes). Learning to blend Orton-Gillingham with Montessori has taken me a lot of time and experience... and a lot of trial and error! As you all know so well, teaching is an ever-evolving process of finding what works (and that can change from student to student). I'm sure I will continue to find new and different ways to continue blending these two methods together and when I find something new that works, I'll be sure to let you know! I hope what I've developed so far helps you on your journey and inspires you to be creative with your materials so that you can meet the needs of your students in the best ways possible.
Great suggestion! I will put that on my list. Even my elementary student enjoyed using the small moveable alphabet to practice spelling, so it is a great tool for older students too!
Montessori doesn’t provide enough explicit instruction on skills like this. I’m sure Dr. Maria Montessori would appreciate this. I think the neurotypical child thrives in a Montessori class but children who may come late (start at age 5-6) or have dyslexia don’t get enough instruction that they need. Also did you get your blending board when you took OG training?
Agreed, as I learned in my MMPI class, Montessori works perfectly for children who can auto-educate but when something interferes with the ability to auto-educate, the lessons need to change. It can be the environment that we need to change, or the lesson itself, or both! Most of the time it takes breaking the original Montessori lesson down into smaller parts, connecting it to the child in a way that catches their interest better, and being more explicit with each part of the lesson. Yes, my OG training came with the blending board, cards, sand tray, teaching manuals, and a cassette of how to pronounce each phonetic sound correctly. My training was a semester long class with a teaching internship, though. It was for graduate school credit that combined Central Michigan University's teaching program with the Michigan Dyslexia Institute's training.

This is a super smart and great technique!! Thank you!
Thank you!! We need to do a video together again some day. Maybe talk about our experiences with the MMPI class?

This video is amazing and helped me how to incorporate OG approach to teach learn to read while teaching with Montessori method.

This was amazing! Thank you! Would love to see the small moveable alphabet lesson you mentioned pls
