Join this webinar on May 17th, at 11am EST
Meeting the needs of students with specific learning disabilities involving oral and written skills requires a firm grasp of how sound/word knowledge and sentence/discourse (plus vocabulary) knowledge interact as two separate but essential dimensions of language ability.

The Simple View of Reading (SVR), combining word-decoding and language comprehension, offers a way to understand how oral and written language abilities interact, with implications for explaining these relationships to parents and teachers.

Without basic language comprehension skills for spoken language, students may read aloud with a degree of competency, yet not understand what they are reading and be unable to answer language comprehension questions on a test,

In this session, participants will learn to use a quadrant model based on the SVR, and apply it to information from case examples for students assessed with the Student Language Scale (SLS; Nelson, Howes, & Anderson, 2018), Test of Integrated Language and Literacy Skills (TILLS; Nelson, Plante, Helm-Estabrooks, & Hotz, 2016), and curriculum-based language assessment (Nelson, 1989) to show how to combine information from these varied sources to plan efficient and effective interventions for students with diverse but connected language and literacy learning needs.

Join us for this webinar live on May 17th, at 11am EST, or watch the recording, which will be distributed to all registrants.
