More about this event...
Because psychologists are on the frontlines of diagnosing dyslexia, having a thorough understanding of the available treatments to remediate it are crucial. A psychologist’s referral to a reading tutor is just the beginning of a complex journey for parents and children. There are psychological, academic, financial and scheduling consequences that such a referral sets into motion. This workshop introduces Evidence Based Literacy Instruction (EBLI) as a powerful approach to effectively and efficiently teach reading and writing to all students, including those diagnosed with dyslexia. EBLI is a Linguistic Phonics Program (also referred to as Speech to Print or Structured Linguistic Literacy) designed to teach reading, writing & spelling. This workshop begins by exploring the differences between Linguistic Phonics and Structured Literacy (the most well-known Structured Literacy program is the Orton-Gillingham Method (OG)). We will cover the need to marry the science of reading and the science of learning for training teachers and students. We will also cover the ways in which EBLI addresses all areas of literacy instruction: phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension, that methods like OG do not. This workshop will be interactive, including many demonstrations of the instruction and opportunities for attendees to experience the learning process. There will be student videos to illustrate what this instruction looks like with a variety of students, including Multilingual Learners. The workshop will conclude with plenty of time for questions and discussion. Attendees should read both A Prototype for Teaching the English Alphabet Code (Diane McGuinness) and Orton-Gilingham: Which Aspects are Supported by Research and Which Require Additional Research? before attending the workshop.
