The presenter admitted at the outset to being nervous and this was evident. I found her distracted and difficult to follow at times, not because the information didn't make sense but because she kept jumping from one thing to another. The information is very familiar to me so while I didn't gain a lot of new knowledge, some of her examples added ideas that I can incorporate into my therapy.

I question how current the information in this course is. It seems to disregard the science of reading and relies on disproven strategies for teaching reading. I appreciate that good readers constantly integrate their background knowledge into reading and reading comprehension, but my understanding of the science of reading is that students should not be taught to guess what a word might be based on context or picture clues.

Every part of the course really gave real world examples and things you could focus on with students depending on what aspect of literacy and language they are struggling with the most. It also gave me ideas of more things I could be doing with some of my students to help them with both oral language and literacy simultaneously, which is a goal of mine working in a school setting.

Excellent presentation that outlines the roles of SLP in helping to foster the connection between earlier language development and later literacy skills. Especially helpful were the warning signs of potential literacy difficulties and strategies to help prevent greater negative effect. Presenter was engaging and presentation notes were well organized and helped to convey the important points of the discussion.

This was an excellent introduction to addressing reading as an SLP. While the districts I have worked in have employed reading specialists as opposed to SLPs to target literacy, I feel much more equipped to assess literacy as well as support a student with reading and writing difficulties in the therapy room. I look forward to building a child's future literacy and language skills by using literacy-based therapy to support the context no matter their goal.

by

Presenter recommended strategies that are contrary to the evidence base about how children become proficient readers. For example, she suggested encouraging children to skip over unknown words and use pictures and context to attempt to guess their meaning rather than applying their decoding skills. Angie Neal’s talk discusses how these strategies actually emulate what poor readers do, not what good readers do.
