RX FOR DISCOVERY READING: STANDARD WORKSHOP

There are currently no upcoming Workshops available for registration of this type. If you believe this is in error please Contact Us.

Description

The training is designed to model how to weave these components, which we call “strands of language” into a language braid that is comprehensive, constructive, and creative.

  1. Evidenced-based: Based on meta-analyses research from the National Reading Panel (NRP, 2000) and Teaching Reading Is Rocket Science (Moats, 2020);
  2. Philosophy: Multi-modal structured literacy approach (Carreker & Birsh, 2018) based on Scarborough’s Reading Rope (2001) within a mediated learning (Feuerstein, 1996) and meta- cognitive instructional framework (NRP, 2000)
  3. Instruction: Didactic and practicum learning experiences with hands-on, role-playing activities and lesson plan development

  4. Assessment: Participants will practice implementing aspects of a reading lesson with a small group of peers and receive feedback on their demonstrations

Once the Rx for Discovery Reading: Standard training is completed NILD educational therapists and classroom educators will be able to work with students in a one-on-one situation or in small groups and effectively and efficiently develop decoding and encoding skills in their students.

Workshop Objectives:

General: Successful completion of this workshop will enable educators to use evidenced- based strategies to further develop the literacy skills of 4th-12th grade students.

Specific: Upon completion of this workshop, participants will be able to:

  1. Understand how to develop students’ literacy thinking and learning using a structured literacy approach, mediated learning, cognitive functions, and corrective feedback
  2. Understand how NILD’s cognitive literacy approach addresses the literacy needs of English Language Learners and ACE students (academically, culturally, and economically diverse students)
  3. Demonstrate knowledge of fluency factors and how fluency develops reading comprehension skills
  4. Situate the Gray Matter Literacy technique and materials within the research-informed best-practices to develop students’ literacy abilities

  5. Demonstrate knowledge of morphemes and how to develop students’ morphological knowledge to build vocabulary and reading comprehension skills
