One of the biggest questions my students ask when they walk through my door is, "What reading game are we playing today?" This question always brings a smile to my face because I know that my students, who once did not enjoy reading, are now enthusiastic and excited to read! For many of us Dyslexia Therapists and Special Education Teachers, our students' confidence is a huge hurtle when we first begin working with them. It is part of our job to increase their confidence and teach them how fun reading can be by doing so in an engaging, multi-sensory manner.






I create fun sand trays that encourage students to practice their sounds by means of the OG card drill, spell words, or practice red (sight) words. Changing up the sand trays (during holidays) provides for an easy way to add something "new" to a lesson!
Many of the games that I use in my practice are available in my Teachers Pay Teachers store, Special Inspirations. All of which are approved and inspired by my amazing students. They are also suitable for use during Orton-Gillingham Lessons or with programs based on similar principles.
