2 Day Seminars
For all students, but especially students with language-based learning disabilities, repetition is key when learning new concepts. This 2-day seminar will begin with a brief overview of reading and spelling development and an explanation of the link between skills. Participants will then learn how to create and use relevant manipulatives and multimodal activities to interactively review fundamental skills, progressing from sounds to syllables to word parts and morphology. Games and activities that review decoding patterns and spelling rules will be a primary focus, but the strategies, resources, and techniques presented are applicable to any content area or word work.
Upon completion, participants will be able to:
