Reading and Writing: The Impact of Language
In this training, we will gain a better understanding of language and how it impacts reading and writing.
John can't remember sight words! Jose knows a word on one line and then on the next he doesn't! Jane doesn't understand anything she reads! Joe can't spell! Maria just guesses at words! Daniel just sits in front of a blank page! What can an educator do? Many students struggle with language that impairs their ability to acquire reading and writing skills. In this training we investigate the impact of language on reading and writing, why traditional approaches to reading and writing may not work for these students and how we can collaborate to use evidence-based practices to move these students forward.
