Phonemic Awareness - Overview, Interventions, and Strategies
Wednesday, December 1, 2021
9:00 - 10:30 a.m.
(Zoom link will be emailed to registered participants.)
At this point most educators have heard that phonemic awareness is important for students’ literacy learning. But what exactly is it? How is it related to reading and writing? How do I know if my students have it? How do I teach it if they don’t? This seminar will take a deep dive into phonemic awareness. We will talk about what it is, why it is important for reading and writing, ways to assess it and evidence-based ways to teach it. The content will be appropriate for those professionals working with early readers and writers of any age or grade level.
Participants will:
Define terms such as phonics, phoneme, phonemic and phonological awareness
Describe the development of phonemic awareness and its importance to literacy learning
Implement evidence-based intervention to support the development of phonemic awareness.
Target audience: Speech Language Pathologists, Early Elementary General Education Teachers, Resource Specialists, Special Education Teachers, Administrators, School Psychologists
Presenter: Janet McLellan, Ph.D., M.A., CCC-SLP-L, Speech Language Pathologist
