Supporting literacy learning across the grades: Practical strategies and intervention directions
Course Description
The presentation will outline key concepts that relate to literacy-based language intervention approaches with a focus on the integration of spoken and written language. The two-hour presentation will provide a conceptual framework that underpins the writing of meaningful goals and objectives for children and adolescents that address language and literacy connections. The themes addressed will be that language includes and encompasses literacy and literacy includes and encompasses language. Highlighting the continuum from early elementary school to middle and high school levels, we will ask: What should language-literacy based intervention “look like” at each level? And what is the role of the speech-language pathologist in literacy? The components of intervention will be addressed including: (1) the beginnings and evolution of literacy; (2) the use of background knowledge in the construction of meaning; and (3) the integration of content and structure knowledge. A strategic approach to intervention weaves its way through the discussion. We will also question questionable practices that exist and persist and offer evidence-based alternatives.
