riverloke Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Phonological dysgraphia with low working memory in my 12yo ds: Has anyone used the Right-Brained Sound Spelling cards from Child 1st? They look wonderful but so expensive! Anything similar, and less-pricey, that you know of? https://child1st.com/blogs/resources/right-brained-phonics-spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I'm not sure the full extent of what you're dealing with, but those cards are not necessary and not age-appropriate. Does he have a developmental delay? If you need Orton-Gillingham, there's a list of free resources here, including an entire OG (multi-sensory phonological processing and reading) program for free. https://www.smartspeechtherapy.com/free-literacy-resources-for-parents-and-professionals/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exercise_guru Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I know he is 12 but see if you can get him to do hearbuilder. I love their auditory memory stuff but the whole tool box is very good ( just youngish) My son was 10 when we did the AM part . He had quite low working memory ( especially AM) I like the links that PM sent I also really like Fast Forword. Strengthen up that root area in his brain that processes language. Beyond that I also have the Saxon stuff that is very similiar to orton - Gillingham. Let me see if I can dig it out. I am emptying my homeschool cupboard because my son has outgrown it and we have been working on this since kindergarten. Need to make room for new stuff. pm me and I can email you some pictures to see if it will help. I wouldn't want much for it just looking to give it to a mom who really needs it. I also have those cards you are talking about I color coded them by sounds I printed them into pictures and made up story boards with them that we practaced daily. It didn't do everything but it did help. Gray day ( long A) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riverloke Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 I have this book on Auditory Sequential Memory. Is it similar? https://www.amazon.com/Auditory-Sequential-Memory-Instructional-Workbook/dp/0972776230 I am hoping to find some right-brained colorful charts to use alongside SCM's Spelling Wisdom, as that program will help with other writing skills at the same time. Is Saxon Phonics visually similar to Abeka? I could use my Abeka Handbook for colorful, visual ideas for presenting the spelling rules that come up as we work through Spelling Wisdom.
