Oklahoma Speech-Language-Hearing Association, in partnership with Southern Nazarene University MAASE, proudly presents:
Recent Advances in Understanding Word-Level Reading Problems: Implications for Instruction and Intervention
presented by Dr. David Kilpatrick
LIVE WEBINAR - Friday, November 6th, 2020
9am to 11:30am - Morning Session • 12:30pm to 3:00pm - Afternoon Session
This session will focus on how children learn to read words and why some children struggle. Understanding the nature of word-level reading development and word-level reading problems will guide both instruction and intervention. Studies consistently show that the most commonly used intervention approaches provide limited benefits for weak readers. However, other studies have shown that some approaches can yield very large reading gains for such students, and these will be the focus of the presentation.
LEARNER OUTCOMES:
As a result of this session, participants will be able to:
1. Understand common misunderstandings about how children read words
2. Understand what scientists have found about how children learn to read.
3. Identify the most effective instructional principles to prevent reading difficulties in young children.
4. Identify the most effective principles to guide intervention for children with word-level reading difficulties.
