reinforced the efficacy of explicit and systematic literacy instruction and the importance of phonological awareness in early grades and then language based instruction in later as an SLP working collaboratively with special educators. I also appreciated the details of how ineffective common reading programs actually are.

The presenter is very knowledgeable and her delivery quite good. It was very useful to have so much reading information recapped in one presentation. The most useful thing for me was the research summaries, or lack thereof, on the various programs and reading philosophies, all of which I have encountered in public schools over the course of 32 years! To have all of that in one place alongside the research that supports structured literacy is so helpful. I wish I had this when working with school

The course emphasized the important decisions that schools have to make with reading curriculum and how it cannot be taken lightly. ALL reading programs used must be evidence-based showing improved rates of reading, whether the child has a special need or not.

I have been an SLP for 20+ years and I used to incorporate more phonemic awareness and phonological awareness in my sessions but I have drifted away from that. This course has reignited that understanding that these are my responsibility and I need to be incorporating them in my lesson again.

The course aligns with the Science of Reading—-integrating research and promoting explicit, systematic instruction in phonological awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. This course encourages team-based approaches involving educators, speech-language pathologists (SLPs), specialists, and families. Recognizes that literacy development is multi-disciplinary, particularly for students with language-based learning difficulties.
by

It was interesting to hear how some of the approaches that have been used for classroom and intervention approaches to reading do not include systematic,explicit, structured literacy instruction (that focuses on phonological awareness, word recognition, phonics, decoding, spelling and syntax). I look forward to hearing more in part 2 of this series.

There was a wealth of information provided in this course and Angie provided action steps that can be taken immediately (e.g., asking if the gap is closing instead of if progress is being made, encouraging teachers to flip the order of the three-cue system, etc.). I always find Angie's courses to be incredibly engaging and relevant.

This course should be required of all MTSS teams, reading specialists, and administrators. As an SLP I know the research and correlation between language skills and reading success, but other professionals in a school setting totally ignore it. This presentation is very well presented and provides the specific research so many people need to hear.
