DESCRIPTION:
Are you tired of using the same old methods to teach sight word knowledge?  Do you feel like there has to be a better way? Back by popular demand, we are bringing in Marianne Nice, licensed speech language pathologist, reading specialist, IDA certified structured literacy dyslexia specialist, and world renowned speaker, for an encore presentation of one of our most popular webinars ever. 

"I liked how I could see some students in action and have take-aways I can use tomorrow with students." Sherry Montminy, Interventionist, Newport, Vermont

"She provided a lot of ideas / resources / activities which I can use immediately. I have already adjusted how I am introducing sight words to my students." Sara Haxter, Special Education Teacher, Charlottesville, VA 

This dynamic webinar will explore the best and worst ways to teach "sight words."  Marianne will begin by reviewing the science of word learning and the role of orthographic mapping in the development of sight word knowledge. She will also review the biggest myths and the commonly used ineffective instructional practices surrounding sight word acquisition.  Marianne will dive into research based recommendations to teach sight words to even your most struggling students. Get ready for fresh ideas and practical strategies to engage your students while teaching them, not only how to read those high frequency words, but also how to spell common sight words.  Regardless of the word list you use, you will find this webinar valuable and eye-opening! 

In this webinar you will learn about:

• The neurological basis of word learning, including orthographic mapping and how it relates to sight word knowledge
• What sight word learning isn’t:  The WRONG WAY to teach sight words
• The research based recommendations for teaching sight word knowledge
• Practical, instructional practices that work
• Programs that have a uniquely effective approach to teaching sight words

If you attended and enjoyed this live and recorded webinar that was originally presented on December, 14 2020, and decide to attend this as a refresher, the content will be the same.
