In Orton-Gillingham-based instruction, what is the correct sequence for introducing a new phonogram?
Answer: Auditory discrimination→Visual recognition→Kinesthetic writing→Blending into words
OG introduces new phonograms by first developing auditory discrimination, then visual recognition, then kinesthetic writing, and finally blending into words.
When a student with dyslexia struggles with reading fluency despite accurate decoding, the therapist should prioritize:
Answer: Repeated oral reading of decodable texts with corrective feedback
Repeated oral reading of decodable texts with immediate corrective feedback is an evidence-based approach for building fluency in students who already decode accurately.
Which technique is MOST appropriate for teaching a student to identify syllable types in multisyllabic words?
Answer: Using colored markers or tiles to segment and label each syllable type
Using colored markers or tiles to visually and kinesthetically segment and label syllable types is a structured, multisensory approach aligned with OG methodology.
A CDT is planning a session for a student who reverses 'b' and 'd'. Which intervention strategy is most effective?
Answer: Anchoring 'b' and 'd' using a consistent verbal story and a kinesthetic cue for each letter separately
Anchoring each letter separately with a distinct verbal story and kinesthetic cue prevents confusion and builds independent letter-sound associations.
In a structured literacy lesson, the 'review' phase should include:
Answer: Drill of previously taught phonograms and concepts using all modalities
The review phase uses multisensory drill of previously mastered phonograms and concepts to reinforce automaticity before introducing new material.
Which of the following best describes 'controlled text' (decodable readers) in dyslexia treatment?
Answer: Texts where at least 90% of words can be decoded using patterns already taught
Decodable readers are controlled texts where the vast majority of words use previously taught phonics patterns, allowing students to practice decoding independently.
When should a dyslexia therapist introduce cursive handwriting to a student who confuses print letters?
Answer: Early in treatment, as cursive eliminates many common letter reversals and supports kinesthetic learning
Cursive handwriting is often introduced early because its connected letterforms eliminate many reversal confusions (b/d, p/q) and reinforce kinesthetic letter memory.
