Reading and the Brain
This interactive course is designed for the Orton-Gillingham (OG) or Structured Literacy (SL) educator who already has a basic understanding of the structure of the English language and wishes to learn more about the neuroscience of reading. You will leave with an in-depth understanding of phonemic proficiency, phonology, reading and spelling development, reading fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and sentence structure. You will learn practical strategies you can immediately implement.
What About Writing? Webinar Series
This asynchronous, self-paced webinar series helps educators build a thorough understanding of the science of writing and how to implement evidence-based techniques and activities into their writing instruction. This series focuses on the most current research on writing, theoretical models that underpin updated understandings of the factors that enable skilled writing, and best practices for writing instruction.
Foundations of Reading Webinar Series
What is Structured Literacy? In this asynchronous, self-paced interactive webinar series, you will learn the basics of structured literacy, with an emphasis on foundational word recognition skills. After completion of this training you will understand: what the ‘Science of Reading’ refers to, foundational frameworks, the difference between structured literacy and less effective instructional practices, and ways to shift your instruction to better align with what research tells us about how students learn to read.
Language Comprehension Webinar Series
This five-part asynchronous, self-paced interactive webinar series goes beyond basic word recognition skills and addresses all that goes into reading comprehension, including syntax, sentence comprehension, and grammar; vocabulary; fluency; and morphology and etymology.
Updated Approaches for Neurodiversity-affirming Social Cognition
No two brains are the same. All great minds learn differently, yet we all live in the same world. This interactive workshop focuses on how to teach social cognition skills within a neurodiversity-affirming framework. You will leave with tools and strategies you can apply as soon as the next day.
