Description

  • Activities to provide opportunities for children to use language to share experiences and ideas
  • Incorporate highly sensory and tactile experiences into instructional contexts
  • Access easy-to-implement instructional plans and resources that align with CCSS
  • Supplement instruction for children with ASD, LLD, ADHD and language differences

Join language and literacy expert Barbara Culatta, PhD, CCC-SLP, and learn fun and engaging play, arts, and movement-based activities to teach and facilitate children’s language, literacy and social interaction skills. These effective intervention techniques allow children (pre-k through 2nd grade levels) to acquire and use skills to share ideas, feelings and experiences through reading, writing and oral language. You will acquire resources and effective techniques to develop language and literacy skills in children who function at various developmental levels, exhibit different needs, and display characteristics associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Language-Learning Deficits (LLD) and Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). You will also learn ways to address the needs of children with language differences, access free materials in English as well as Spanish, and influence the way children interact and communicate in playful language- and literacy-rich contexts. The instructional approach arranges for excellent whole group instruction while also providing intense and differentiated instruction for children who struggle.

You will walk away with the skills necessary to:

  • Dramatically increase comprehension, vocabulary, phonological awareness, decoding and writing performance
  • Use playful strategies to strengthen language, literacy and conversational skills
  • Provide opportunities for children to use language to share experiences and ideas
  • Engage children in conversational exchanges that promote language, literacy and social interaction skills
  • Meet the language and literacy needs of children with ASD, LLD, ADHD and language differences
  • Facilitate interactions among children as they share ideas and engage in playful reading and writing contexts
  • Arrange for children to encounter personally relevant reasons to read, write and use oral language to communicate
  • Engage, motivate and build confidence in children as they acquire language and literacy skills
