Early Literacy: Brain Research and Dialogic Conversation
Learning Outcomes: I will be able to articulate the reading models and have an understanding on how the brain learns to read as it relates to Science of Reading. I will develop my ability to support oral language through the implementation of dialogic conversation in my classroom.
During this sectional we will build an understanding of the Science of Reading by identifying the reading models and how the brain learns to read. We will discuss causes of reading difficulties as it relates to the importance of explicit and systematic instruction. Finally we will focus in on oral language and the important role this plays in literacy development. You will learn a specific strategy to support oral language growth in students.
