Structured literacy is defined as systematic, explicit instruction that provides a strong core of foundational skills in the English language system. Structured literacy integrates listening, speaking, reading, spelling, and writing, and emphasizes the structure of language across the speech sound system, the writing system, the structure of sentences, the meaningful parts of words, the relationships among words, and the organization of spoken and written discourse.
Participants will be able to:
- Explain the importance of structured literacy
- Identify and describe the six key features of structured literacy
- Identify and describe the elements of structured literacy
Learn tools to help children transition from non-verbal to verbal communication, which includes foundational skills that should be used to support children throughout this process.
