The reference to resources made the information/research rich presentation a bit easier to put into practice and implement. Maureen is very knowledgeable but found ways to make a somewhat overwhelming, research heavy topic easier to digest and start immediately with students.

This course was another excellent presentation of research based strategies for promoting literacy skills in our students with SSPI. The numerous citings of research are perfect for justifying introducing the methods to the staff in the classrooms as well as administrators.

Very interesting course with more updated research and outcomes on literacy development. Very informative and helpful information on how to apply the Simple View of Reading and the Reading rope in a systematic way for AAC users. Engaging slides as well, for later reference while applying these principles and practices.

I feel this course was a little to advanced for my understanding of literacy instruction. It was hard to follow because I didn't know many of the basic terms. However, I liked the examples and pictures. Those helped me understand how the information was applicable.

This course included specific, accessible resources, some free, that I can actually use to apply the principles from this course to my own caseload. It is uncommon that I walk away from a class feeling like I can actually put the content into practice without a significant amount of additional time, effort, and administrative support, all of which are often simply unavailable to me as a public school SLP.

by
Member
on
May 9, 2022
Many slides seemed to be including too much information and rushed through, without thorough details for each. Jargon was used as well that wasn't clearly defined. Some examples may include: slide with Broder page, Adapting PA Assessment, UFLI, slide 24, synthetic phonics, synthetic sounds, decodable book examples, word shapes, slide 44, and text versus language used for micro/macro structure differing from quiz.

by

This is really thought provoking information for use with my students that use AAC, my 'speech kids' that also struggle with reading, and my own child that struggles with decoding despite strong PA and language skills!
by

I think it served it's purpose in the sequence of courses. It just didn't get in to real specifics that can be applied immediately in therapy. It did spark my thinking about literacy, which I already use regularly in Teletherapy, and encourage me to think of more ways to work on sound recognition.
by
Member
on
March 7, 2022
It was good because it followed the outline and really described why we should be using he the Simple View of Reading model for literacy development and how we need to be focusing more on phonics, sound recognition for the development of reading. It helped me to be able to show my teachers how Phonological Awareness, Basic Phoneme Awareness focuses on Phonics decoding, spelling and Advanced Phoneme Proficiency through phoneme manipulation leads to Orthographic mapping to sight word reading.

From the handout it seems like there was a lot of good information that had to be skimmed over due to time constraints. Unfortunately, it seemed like it was mostly the application that was missed. This should have been a 2 hour course to get through everything.

I feel like the speaker has great knowledge, however it seemed like the materialWas presented way too quickly or maybe it was too much to cover in such a short period. I felt like it just grazes the surface and I didn’t get enough depth of information to really understand the presentation in a manner that would impact my work.
by

This course offered me an extremely in-depth introduction into phonemic awareness, the next steps, and existing research about learning to read AND research about how students with complex communication needs have been successful learning to read. I was extremely impressed with this presentation and felt truly challenged by the material presented. I found it interesting and appreciated the tons of specific recommendations she offered for programs and websites offering step-by-step lessons.
