Book excerpt: This is the teachers' manual for the Blast Off to Reading, Orton-Gillingham reading program, which uses a lesson based workbook along with fun online games and tools (go to www.blastofftoreadingcom for the free web app for this program). This e-book contains slides to present the lesson using a Smart Board or screen sharing software for distance learning. It can also be used on a laptop or tablet for one-on-one tutoring or teaching a small group. The workbook along with this manual makes teaching easy, since there's little prep time and the lesson plans are complete. The slides from the teachers' manual will illustrate the lessons in an organized, explicit manner, encouraging student participation. Lesson slides will be followed by all of the worksheets that are in the students' Blast Off to Reading workbook, which should be done together as a class. The workbook, lessons and online tools promote phonemic awareness and contain the multi-sensory activities that are required for the Orton-Gillingham approach. Organized in a cumulative, structured manner, with repetition built in, your students won't miss any sounds or rules and will overcome their reading difficulties to become proficient readers.
