Register today for the October 22, Saturday, workshop in Tampa, the Fast Track Reading System: Exploring the Relationship Between Sounds & Syllables. It's an essential skill many adult literacy programs fail to teach. It is a method that helps adult learners see immediate results and encourages them to stay in programs longer. This training is for adult literacy tutors and for those who want to learn strategies to help teens and adults who have learning differences.
Sharon Jaskula will provide an overview of a curriculum developed by the Jacksonville Public Library with the support of a Library Services and Technology Act Grant administered by the Florida Division of Library and Information Services. This curriculum focuses on using syllable division and syllable types as a way to strengthen the word attack skills of new readers. Discover the piece that your students have been missing and open up a whole new world.
