I might have read it wrong about the whole word reading being a myth. This is what is taught to kids with down syndrome to get them reading. We choose high interest words. along with the SOR.

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

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.

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.
