This two-day workshop explores the multi-sensory Visual Phonics program and its benefits in reinforcing oral language, speech, literacy and writing skills for students who are deaf or hard of hearing, bilingual, or possess diverse learning needs. This hands-on workshop develops the skills necessary to implement Visual Phonics in therapeutic and instructional settings. The second day explores research-based strategies to support beginning spelling and reading instruction with the support of Visual Phonics in therapeutic and instructional settings. Participants are provided opportunities to practice techniques for teaching: Letter recognition/matching/naming/formation; phoneme awareness (K-2), phoneme-grapheme (sound-symbol) association; blending of one-syllable decodable words; recognition of irregular words; and building accuracy and speed in word recognition.
