Literacy for All!
Join us for a FREE 2-day workshop!
For students with autism and related disorders, reading instruction must include both word study and a strong focus on reading comprehension. Day 1 will cover assessment ideas and specific strategies to support for all components of balanced literacy including:
• Shared Reading, helping students build language and enjoy reading;
• Guided Reading, using the Anchor / Read / Apply approach;
• Self-Selected Reading, helping students find and access age-respectful, engaging materials;
• Word Study, from phonological awareness to interactive phonics;
The day will include tips for getting everyone onboard and excited about pushing for quality, research-based literacy instruction. For each area, you will see several apps and how to use those apps interactively.
