When working with students who have the most complex needs (ranging from medical & cognitive disabilities, complex communication needs, and complex physical bodies), we often have questions:
- How do we set expectations so that all of our students can learn?
- What should literacy instruction look like for emergent learners?
- What resources can help implement literacy instruction?
These are fundamental questions every teacher asks when striving to provide equitable access to learning to ALL of their students. In this webinar, Katie Pittman, MA CCC-SLP, Nickie Woods, MA from Fletcher Miller School, and Caroline Musselwhite Ed.D., CCC/SLP, share their approach to teaching comprehensive literacy to emergent learners by identifying the just-right behaviors, skills, and targets to meet complex learners.
Since literacy can look very different for the most emergent learners, Katie and Nickie will share and show specific examples of Comprehensive Literacy strategies that lead to their “awesome success” including:
- Applying instructional strategies from Comprehensive Literacy for All by Karen Erickson and David Koppenhaver
- Identifying emergent literacy skills, which look very different from those of conventional learners.
- Setting up a classroom to support Comprehensive Literacy Instruction
- Implementing best practices for engaging emergent learners with Readtopia.
