 HOW TO LEARN A LETTER ill


Make an index card with the letter ill on it in black
Then make one in red
And then make one in green.
And another in blue.

Then make a set of index cards in big letters and again in black, red, blue,  and green.
Do the same with small letters and really big letters.

Why the different sizes and colors? Because while linear learner might be able to see that a letter in a different font is still the same letter many of these kids(fragmented learners) cannot.  So we learn it in different colors, different sizes, and different fonts.  


Now you should have a deck that looks like this.

ill

Show the card with a ill on it


ill

and say
What is this letter?
The only acceptable answer is ill.
only ill is acceptable

There are  no associations, illustrations, or hints of any type.

What is this

ill


ILL

Do not say ill like in pill or bill

Do not draw it

Do not do anything except say
What is this and show the card.

ILL is the only acceptable answer.


If he gets it wrong. No big deal. Don't sigh or frown or get angry. Just say, “no this is ill”.

Do it as much as possible. 10 times per day minimum, thirty times per day is better.  Each episode should last less than thirty seconds.  Ten times a day only comes out to 5 minutes per day.  Do it day after day until he gets it.  Two days two weeks, who cares? Just keep doing it until he gets it and then go on to the next letter.

Once he gets these cards we need to add different fonts.  This is because while a regular learner might be able to see that a letter in a different font is the same letter many of these kids cannot.  So we learn it in different fonts.

Now make some cards in verdana because this is what they use on computers.

Also make them in times roman because that is the way books are written
