Task: Orthographic Processing for Words

Instruction to student: I am going to show you a box with some letters in it. One of the letters has been written twice. I want you to find the letter that has been repeated twice and circle it both times. Here is an example. Direct students' attention to the first box. It may be necessary to write it on a black / white board if you are doing this with a group. Look down the box and see which one has been written twice. The letter e is written twice. See how I circle it both times. Circle it both times. Repeat this for the second box.

Now look at the page in front of you. When I say go, start with the first box .
Look for the letter that is written twice. Make sure you circle it.
Do this both times, and then keep going. Some boxes will have words in them.
Circle the two words that are the same. Work as fast as you can.

Give the student a copy of the student record sheet
