Teach Your Students To See The Logic of Words
The visual library provides subscribers with accurate and engaging videos and graphics designed to fit into your existing lesson plans to help students build a better understanding of how words are built and improve their ability to spell. New content is added twice a month and is designed for students of all grade levels.
What to expect
The Visual Library offers a centralized site containing videos and graphic which illustrate how English words are constructed. The content has been made by literacy instructor Marie Foley who, like the students she teaches, is dyslexic. There is no scope and sequence, instead the visuals have been designed to be integrated into current literacy instruction. The visuals are suitable for students of all grade levels and are divided into seven sections which aim to help students:
understand how words are built
identify the graphemes used in spelling
discover what graphemes are doing when they are not writing a pronunciation
make sense of suffixing conventions
discover the logic of high frequency words
1. Introducing Word Structure
2. Build Words With Free Bases
3. Build Word With Bound Bases
4. Analyzing Complex Words
5. Spelling Conventions

7. Using Homophones to Identify Graphemes
