Dyslexia-Friendly Visual Phonics Decoding
Classroom Management, Resources for Teachers, Community Building, Life Skills, Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Speech Therapy, Science, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Worksheets & Printables, Workbooks, Worksheets, Word Searches, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans, Quizzes and Tests, Quizzes, Tests, Assessments
If your students have difficulty with b/d reversals, visual crowding, or reading anxiety, phonics worksheets often do not work for kids who are neurodivergent because they create a cognitive overload situation. The Visual Phonics Decoding Program is a complete no-frills paradigm shift in reading interventions. Using the proprietary Visuo-Phonological Anchor Model (VPAM), this program creates a connection between auditory processing and the visual-spatial pathways, enabling students (first, second and third graders) to develop automaticity when decoding. The Visual Phonics Decoding packet also follows the principles of the Science of Reading and the cognitive principle of Orthographic Mapping and removes unnecessary visual distractions and replaces them with structured visual anchors. What’s Being Offered In Our 25 Page Complete PDF? Educator Theory and Implementation Manual: A deep dive into the Neurological Structure of Dyslexic Reading, Double-Deficit Hypothesis, and Orthographic Mapping with practical application chapters. Actual Case Studies with Practical Application: Profiles to show how to use these methods with Early Elementary School-Aged Children. Intervention Worksheet Series: Intervention worksheets have been developed utilizing Typographic Grounding, Chromatic Categorization and Spatial Bounding principles. Medial Short Vowels (CVC orthography), Consonant Digraphs (sh, ch, th, wh, ck), Initial Consonant Blends. Teacher Reference Materials/Visual Aids: Contains Visual Aids for Cognitive Orthographic Mapping Protocol and the anatomy of a Dyslexic Friendly Worksheet. Complete Answer Keys and Formative Assessment Protocols. Great For Special Education (SPED) Tier II and Tier III Reading Intervention, Home Schooling & Orton Gillingham Compatible Teaching Methods. Help struggling readers to stop guessing and to have the confidence to code words correctly using decoding! Reasons that Parents/Schools Appreciate It: Elimination of Visual Clutter: Heavy bottom, sans serif fonts, and greater spacing are used strategically to help identify and prevent visual representation of b, d, p, q from being represented as flipping or floating through space. Working Memory Limitations are Bypassed: Students are able to visually lock into a vowel team or digraph without being overwhelmed by using the use of Chromatic Anchor System and bounding boxes. No Fluff & No Distractions: All worksheets were specifically created to conserve as much of a dyslexic child's cognitive energy as possible. Therefore, no clip art, decorative art, or unnecessary instructions are contained to help conserve any cognitive energy from teaching a child to read. Creates Teacher and Parent Power: Also, all worksheets have a clear and complete "Educator Rationales" so parents and teachers can better understand the rationale and methodology for teaching their children. Gives Children the opportunity to Create True Orthographic Mapping: Children are prevented from memorizing and guessing from the visual image or picture, therefore, they are developing the skills to accurately map sounds to letters, which is the basis for long-term efficiency when it comes to reading. Target Audiences: Identify your target audience based on the curriculum's own Tiered Decoding Progression Model (pg. 22) and Introduction (pg. 1). Target Specifically: Grade Levels: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Audience: Students with a diagnosis of Dyslexia, students exhibiting signs of reading anxiety, children who are guessing at reading, children struggling with traditional written Phonics, as well as neurodivergent children from all backgrounds. Skills: Students needing support with CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words, students needing support with consonant digraphs (sh, ch, th) and students needing support with initial consonant blends. Buyers: Special Education Teachers, Reading Interventionists, Parents Home Schooling, General Education/Primary School Teachers.

Target Audience / Students Grades : Kindergarten & 4th/5th Grades are not targeted (English). The curriculum is developed with 1st through 3rd grade (ages 6-9) only - early elementary children who are in the concrete operational cognitive development stage; therefore, the curriculum utilizes concrete metaphors (e.g.; recipe, blueprint, vault, shield), large print for worksheets, and has scenarios appropriate for a given age, such as bats/frogs/knights/dinosaurs. This is not appropriate for kindergarten or 4th grade and beyond as the language and activity levels are too elementary for 4th and older students, and also too advanced for pre-k.
