Would you like to better understand dyslexia and how it affects your students’ reading ability? This one-day seminar is just what you need!

This one-day training focuses on teaching advanced word study so students can spell and read multisyllable words in any subject. Beginning in grade four, after students have developed knowledge of letter-sound correspondences and basic decoding skills in the primary grades, they need to learn how to combine those skills with knowledge of syllable patterns, syllable division principles, and morphology (roots, prefixes, suffixes) to read and spell unfamiliar multisyllable words.

2 FULL DAYS: November 7 & 28. This two-day professional development presents research-based instructional practices for teaching vocabulary throughout the school day. Participants learn how to teach academic vocabulary using existing content reading instructional materials. When used across multiple grade levels, students benefit from a consistent approach.
