New for the 2022-2023 school year, all webinars will be offered for free! Our Spotlight Sessions: Webinars for Educators provide evidence-based teaching strategies, tools, and resources for students with language-based learning disabilities, which fall under the broad category of specific learning disabilities (SLD). Our free, monthly webinars will each feature a new and timely topic.
Webinar features:
This 1-hour webinar will provide a brief overview of the tiers of vocabulary. In addition, we will discuss specific activities, graphic organizers, and strategies that educators can utilize to introduce and develop content-specific vocabulary terms.
This webinar will explore the connection between phonemic awareness and learning to read, before diving into specific activities that can help students of any age strengthen their ability to segment, blend, delete, add, substitute, and manipulate speech sounds in words.
This webinar will introduce thematic unit instruction as a platform for scaffolding language skills alongside age-appropriate content. Participants can expect to learn about the process of selecting an engaging theme with relevant subtopics, brainstorming relevant vocabulary and content, and developing short- and long-term thematic skill activities at the word, sentence, and discourse level (such as compositions) appropriate for middle and high school settings.
In this 1-hour webinar, we will explore student spelling samples using an elementary-level spelling inventory, learn to administer the assessment, diagnose the errors, and prescribe effective instruction to improve Word Recognition and Production outcomes for our students.
