COURSE DESCRIPTION

Students with language-based learning disabilities (LBLD) often struggle to effectively understand and use vocabulary, requiring explicit instruction to build word knowledge across content areas. This webinar will review the different types of vocabulary, as well as present strategies to aid vocabulary development, storage, retention, and recall.
