Silvereye will have a resource display at the workshop open from 8.00 am - 3.30 pm with a broad array of resources focussed on dyslexia, reading and spelling skills.
This workshop will focus on both assessment and evidence-based interventions for students who struggle to learn to read and spell. Nancy Mather will address the definition of dyslexia; the importance of assessing cognitive and linguistic processes, including phonological awareness, orthographic coding, processing speed, and rapid automatised naming; the phases of development of basic reading and spelling skills; and the implementation of differentiated instructional methodologies.
