Dr. Susan Hall, author, President, and Co-Founder of 95 Percent Group Inc., will be leading three webinars based on David Kilpatrick’s book,Essentials of Assessing, Preventing, and Overcoming Reading Difficulties. For at least a decade educators have followed a widely-held practice of teaching and assessing phoneme segmentationas the top skill to be mastered before the end of first grade. Yet, according to Kilpatrick (2015), the most important phonemic awareness skills for word recognition may be the ones higher on the continuum. Have we been stopping too early? Hear what 95 Percent Group recommends for how to teach and monitor the acquisition of phonological awareness skills up the continuum so that the phoneme manipulation skills (addition, deletion, and substitution) are mastered. A complimentary assessment will be provided for teachers to monitor 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders once a year to ensure that deficits in these important phoneme manipulation skills aren’t interfering in learning unknown words.
**Note: The live session can only accommodate the first 100 people to sign into the room. A link to the recorded webinar will be made available to all who registister, so feel free to register even if you're unable to join live.
