This two-day, in-person workshop will explore the five domains of oral language and how these skills are foundational for the acquisition and development of reading and writing. This workshop is designed for professionals who want to analyze oral language building blocks necessary for literacy development, and how to successfully intervene and adapt lesson plans for the various stages of reading and writing.

Participants will delve into the five components of both language and literacy and learn more about their synergistic relationship and how these evolving connections affect executive functioning. Standardized assessment results, case studies, and student samples will be used to investigate the relationships between spoken and written language. Participants will also learn about different assessment measures that depict a student’s area(s) of strength and need in spoken language and how these factors impact literacy. Attendees will familiarize themselves with specific interventions and activities appropriate for each area of language and create their own lesson plans to target these needs.

Educators will leave with a foundational understanding of how spoken language affects and supports the development of reading and writing. You will also have exposure to interpreting student assessment results, and the influence it may have on their performance in their classroom, clinic, tutorial, or small group.
