Teaching reading is rocket science! What are the inner workings of the mind, and how do they enable reading comprehension? Participants will learn about the processes that comprise executive function, how they are measured, and how they relate to reading comprehension and instruction.
Assessment & Evaluation
Orton-Gillingham: Diagnostic Assessment Webinar Series
Do you want to build a deeper understanding of the developmental progression of reading skills and know how to link assessment to instruction? This webinar series explores how to administer a comprehensive diagnostic assessment, how to analyze the results, and how to use an Orton-Gillingham scope and sequence to meet your students’ needs.
Written Expression: Case Studies Webinar
Target your teaching with data-driven insights. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to assess student strengths and areas of need, determine appropriate interventions, link assessment data to instruction, and identify targeted responses grounded in evidence-based strategies. Watch as Dr. Melissa Farrall demonstrates effective case study analysis by focusing on written expression.
Linking Assessment to Instruction with a Structured Literacy Approach
This interactive course is designed for educators with a background in Orton-Gillingham or Structured Literacy. In this class, we will explore different profiles of dyslexia together with related conditions, such as ADHD and dysgraphia. We will use our knowledge of structured literacy to analyze what different tests actually measure and how to think beyond test scores and data as a foundation for lesson planning and instruction.
Comprehensive Reading Evaluations
Reading comprehension is not easily quantified, and it can be difficult to separate out the factors that support readers in their efforts to make meaning from text. This workshop will focus on the components of a comprehensive reading evaluation and how a well-designed assessment can provide instructors with targeted instructional responses to student needs.
