PROGRAM SUMMARY
With the newly approved amendment to the Ohio Third Grade Reading Guarantee adding Speech and Language Pathologists to the list of approved professionals who can deliver reading instruction, SLPs are more than ever desiring professional development in the area of reading.
This
daylong workshop is designed to equip the Speech and Language Pathologist to
deliver practical Tier I & Tier II early literacy interventions and
consultation approaches in the school and clinic based settings. With caseload and workload
issues in mind, participants will learn how to “get involved in reading” and
implement easy to use activities and intervention strategies to help struggling
readers in the areas of phonemic awareness, reading decoding and reading fluency. Join us for a truly fun and engaging day
filled with high quality content that you can use immediately with your
students and clients.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of the day, participants will be able to:
- Explain
common causes for reading problems and determine appropriate assessments to quantify,
identify, and explain these causes to teachers, administrators and parents.
- Plan
and implement appropriate Tier I & Tier II reading interventions targeting
phonemic awareness, reading decoding and reading fluency deficits.
- Implement
consultation approaches to increase the effectiveness of current Response to
Intervention (RtI) models.
- Describe
a number of methods and degrees to which the Speech and Language Pathologist
can participate in reading instruction and meaningfully contribute to student
and client literacy achievement.
- Outline a comprehensive Tier II literacy intervention framework complete with activities and recommended resources.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This program is
appropriate for Speech-Language Pathologist or related fields interested in
helping at-risk or struggling readers (teachers, special educators, educational
specialists, administrators, etc.), or graduate students who have an interest
in early literacy. Anyone with a stake in student reading achievement can benefit from this workshop!
