EDUC 5461 - The Sound Case for the Emerging Reader

1 Credit Hours

This multisensory literacy program focuses on teaching emerging readers. The workshop will teach participants through lectures, modeling, and hands-on practice. This is a great opportunity for parents, preschool teachers, elementary teachers of K-2, and other educational professionals to learn the research-based elements of language development that allow a teacher to prevent young children from future reading difficulties. This two-day instructional workshop equips participants with activities to teach and reinforce phonological awareness, letter recognition, sound/symbol correspondence, reading of phonetically regular words, spelling development, handwriting, oral language development, and listening comprehension. This program allows the participant to have the confidence to begin working with young children immediately. One graduate credit is available through Friends University for $85.
