Two significant factors in acquiring literacy are decoding and spelling. Virginia Gonzales, diagnostician for dyslexia services at Pharr-San Juan, Alamo ISD will be presenting strategies to assist teachers in reinforcing these two skills.
Day one will provide a framework for a decoding-spelling continuum. Instructional strategies and activities will be presented to reinforce concepts and skills for students performing below grade level.
Day two will further build an understanding of English spelling. The five principles for understanding English orthography will be explained. Understanding these principles will provide students a structure and plan for decoding and spelling unknown words.
The training is designed to target students with disabilities served in general education settings, but will assist teachers with any students at any grade level struggling with decoding and spelling
