OgStar Reading® Syllables & Beyond offers a focused approach to teaching foundational literacy skills through the exploration of the “6 Syllable Types” and “Morphology: Prefixes and Suffixes,” key components of the Orton-Gillingham approach. The app incorporates various reading, writing, and spelling activities designed to be multisensory and cumulative, effectively engaging students in their learning processes.

Students utilizing this app can expect to practice:

• Phonological awareness
• Systematic/synthetic phonics
• Multisensory sound/symbol associations
• Reading and writing through the facilitation of the “6 Syllable Types”
• Word building with prefixes and suffixes
• Visual-auditory-kinesthetic-tactile recognition of sight words
• Oral reading of phonetically-controlled words and sentences

• Activities aimed at improving oral reading fluency

This app is particularly beneficial for students who have already achieved proficiency in basic decoding skills, further enhancing their syllabication and morphology capabilities. As a patent-pending technological platform, OgStar Reading® incorporates features such as handwriting recognition feedback, speech recognition feedback, audio-visual synchronization, voice-over correction feedback, and text-to-speech functionality.

Additionally, the app provides data collection tools for parents and educators to track student performance and progress over time. By integrating evidence-based practices consistent with guidelines from the National Reading Panel, OgStar Reading® Syllables & Beyond serves as a structured literacy game that empowers students of all ages to independently cultivate essential literacy skills.
