The plethora of examples was amazing! I especially loved the snake activity and placing the picture at the head or tail. The examples differentiating phonological awareness vs phonemic awareness vs phonics was also very helpful. I'm feeling like I really need to make my sessions more active, and send home better activities for the parents. Thank you for all of the new ideas!

I really liked how the presenter made skills that ensure kids who have difficulty with reading print skills have both fun and learning success when practicing/learning skills. I like the use of the body parts to cue for skills as well as all of the good examples of phonemic awareness, phonological awareness and phonics that were presented. The videos were my absolute favorite though as you can see the treatments in progress.

I have watched the first 3 videos in Kelly Vess's 4-part series and all of them are very organized and detailed. Kelly is clearly knowledgeable and I appreciate her explanations, videos, and visuals. I did not rate this particular course as Excellent because I didn't agree with the way Kelly presented individual phonemes when describing Phonological Awareness and Phonemic Awareness activities. Please refer to my explanation in "Additional Comments".

The instructor is extremely well prepared. Emphasis on research is fantastic. Concrete examples and visual aids are helpful. I was surprised to hear the recent research saying to include print with phonological tasks. One caution--the mention of emotional practice is not quite accurate. Historically, we taught phonics, then learned about phonological awareness. Separating the two was vital to tease impact apart. Now we have the luxury of comparing strict phonological intervention to phonics.
