Kind Old Words Orton-Gillingham Skills Practice Pack | -ind, -old & -ost

Help students recognize and apply “Kind Old Words” with this engaging Orton-Gillingham and structured literacy practice pack.
This 5-page printable resource focuses on predictable word groups with unexpected vowel sounds, specifically -ind, -old, and -ost. Students begin with explicit word sorting and spelling-pattern practice before applying the skill in connected reading through the seasonal story The Ghost Behind the Post. 
This resource includes:
-ind, -old, and -ost word sorting and spelling practice
High-interest connected reading passage: The Ghost Behind the Post
Opportunities to identify target spelling patterns while reading
Literal and inferential comprehension questions
Vocabulary-in-context practice
Draw-and-respond creative writing activity
The reading passage gives students meaningful opportunities to encounter words such as mind, old, most, post, ghost, and kind within connected text rather than practicing the patterns only in isolation.
Students then demonstrate comprehension through both recall and deeper-thinking questions, including using details from the story to support their answers. 
The lesson also extends into vocabulary and written expression. Students determine the meanings of words such as curiosity, hovered, generous, and invitation using story context, use the words in their own sentences, and complete a creative draw-and-write response.
