The course introduced me to some free screenings for early literacy with which I previously wasn't familiar. It was helped to learn more about red flags that are indicative of future impairments in literacy.

I love the speaker's enthusiasm. Since I have been working with many student's that don't develop reading skills on time, I hope to use the screeners in the future to identify at risk students. When I went to the first 2 sites, I could not find the screeners to download. Could you possibly sent them to me? stwallach.sw@gmail.com OR provide further instruction as to how to find them on the sites?

This course was presented very well by someone who is excited about the information. I have many children on my caseload who have literacy challenges, and Mrs. Vess brought to light how the language comprehension and word recognition skills must be present for a child to have success with reading. I also have access to free literacy screenings which will be helpful to me as I serve my students.

Highly informative presentation which emphasized the importance of the additional elements needed to fully evaluate the students in our school as there are an increased number of students entering that have fewer or no word recognition skills and executive function skills (focus and sustained listening/memory). We have our work cut out for us. Too many of them have already gotten to the upper grade levels and can't read!

Loved this course on Early Literacy Intervention. The list for identifying factors was helpful: background, parent input, language, speech, and literacy screening, prognosis. I like the information on auditory processing in which the child can't answer simple questions. The information on deixis is also helpful. Also to note was looking at the quality of errors on a speech screening. I have many kids that fit these characteristics, so this course was very helpful.
