Phonology: Do You Hear What I Hear?
The foundational skills required to connect oral and written
language are called phonological processing. A decit in one or
more of these kinds of phonological processing abilities is viewed
as the most common cause of the majority of cases of learning
disabilities in general, and of reading disabilities in particular
(Wagner, Torgesen, & Rashotte, 1999, p. 10). This workshop will
equip educators with the foundational knowledge and tools to
assess and instruct students in phonology.
LEARNING OUTCOMES (HIGHLIGHTS):
Ÿ Explicitly state the goal of any phonological awareness activity.

Direct students' attention to speech sounds during reading, spelling,
