Course Description

As SLPs, we often question our role for students with literacy issues, including dyslexia. Each domain of language plays a vital role to move from speaking and listening to reading and writing. This session will concentrate on morphology, phonology, and syntax. Evidence-based practices and specific strategies will be provided that link speaking and listening with reading and writing.
