Event Description:

This week long course focuses on emergent literacy development for students with significant cognitive disabilities. It will expose participants to how students, including those with significant disabilities, become emergent readers and writers. The scope of the week will include early symbolic communication, core vocabulary, as well as emergent reading and writing strategies. Teachers will learn to draw on student experiences to expand vocabulary. One and a half days will be devoted to conventional literacy content. Teachers will learn about resources and strategies that they can begin to implement immediately in their classrooms. SCECH credits as well as 2 college credits will be offered for Literacy Academy. A one-day follow up for all those that have attended any summer literacy academy will be offered in October, 2016. Participants must register separately for the follow up day.

PLEASE NOTE: Handouts will be electronic. Participants need to bring a fully charged laptop or iPad device.

Registration can be found at www.osregistration.org  or contact Deb Campbell for further assistance.
