What?
Please join us for four half-day sessions presented by Jessica Wamsley, M.Ed. Foundations for Literacy is a one-of-a-kind, evidence-based curriculum designed specifically for preschool students who are deaf or hard of hearing. It can also be used as an intervention for kindergarten through 2nd grade.
For intervention-level results, educators will need to implement Foundations for Literacy an hour each day, four days a week throughout the school year. Targeted learning objectives include vocabulary, narrative skills, alphabetic knowledge, phonological awareness, and reading decodable words and short connected text. Each lesson includes strategies for differentiating instruction using fun, multi-sensory, age-appropriate, integrated activities.
Over 150 classroom teachers across the country have successfully implemented this intervention in listening and spoken language (LSL) and total communication (TC) classrooms. The Center on Literacy and Deafness (CLAD) has evidence that it is effective in improving children’s language and literacy skills.
