CDT Treatment Protocols & Procedures 2

Question 1

In Orton-Gillingham-based instruction, what is the correct sequence for introducing a new phonogram?

Accepted Answer

Auditory discrimination→Visual recognition→Kinesthetic writing→Blending into words

Answer

OG introduces new phonograms by first developing auditory discrimination, then visual recognition, then kinesthetic writing, and finally blending into words.

Question 2

When a student with dyslexia struggles with reading fluency despite accurate decoding, the therapist should prioritize:

Accepted Answer

Repeated oral reading of decodable texts with corrective feedback

Answer

Repeated oral reading of decodable texts with immediate corrective feedback is an evidence-based approach for building fluency in students who already decode accurately.

Question 3

Which technique is MOST appropriate for teaching a student to identify syllable types in multisyllabic words?

Accepted Answer

Using colored markers or tiles to segment and label each syllable type

Answer

Using colored markers or tiles to visually and kinesthetically segment and label syllable types is a structured, multisensory approach aligned with OG methodology.

Question 4

A CDT is planning a session for a student who reverses 'b' and 'd'. Which intervention strategy is most effective?

Accepted Answer

Anchoring 'b' and 'd' using a consistent verbal story and a kinesthetic cue for each letter separately

Answer

Anchoring each letter separately with a distinct verbal story and kinesthetic cue prevents confusion and builds independent letter-sound associations.

Question 5

In a structured literacy lesson, the 'review' phase should include:

Accepted Answer

Drill of previously taught phonograms and concepts using all modalities

Answer

The review phase uses multisensory drill of previously mastered phonograms and concepts to reinforce automaticity before introducing new material.
