Description
Do your students have trouble expressing what they want to say in writing? Do they struggle to understand what they've read? Do you search for help, only to find methods that don't really address your students' needs? In this important session you'll be introduced to cutting edge, research-based tools to help your students get the words out and down on paper while also providing them with tools for improved oral and written language comprehension. Provide your students with strategies that go well beyond graphic organizers. We've brought in a world renowned speaker, researcher, and author who has helped thousands of professionals working with elementary, middle, and high school aged students who have challenges such as dyslexia and related language learning disabilities.
This hands-on, interactive session, Dr. Chalres Haynes will provide concrete theme-centered strategies for supporting language skills at the word, sentence, and paragraph levels. Emphases will be placed on leveraging semantic feature analysis and developing "micro-discourse" skills for developing cohesion and elaboration of the personal sequence narrative (PSN)and expository text forms. Participants will see how PSN techniques help to bridge narrative and expository discourse skills.
After this session, participants will be able to:
- Briefly summarize theme-centered strategies for supporting vocabulary and sentence development
- Explain how personal sequence narrative structure can be leveraged to support micro-discourse strategies
- Describe how the Cohesion Circle supports semantic cohesion between sentences
- Explain how the Detail Circle can be used to support elaboration skills
- Outline strategies for scaffolding expository text structures
