SUMMARY:Laying the Foundation: Phonemic Awareness Routines That Work
DESCRIPTION:Price: $ 150 \nDate: Wednesday\, November 12th from 9:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. ET \nInstructors: Nicole Berkowitz\, MS\, CCC-SLP and Diane Happas\, MA CCC-SLP \nGrades: PK-3 \nWhy this Workshop: \nPhonemic awareness is essential for early reading success\, yet many students struggle with sound recognition\, blending\, and segmentation. This interactive workshop will help educators understand the role of phonemic awareness in literacy development and provide actionable ways to support it in daily instruction. The session will highlight engaging activities that benefit all learners and can be easily incorporated into any early literacy program. Participants will explore common challenges—such as difficulty distinguishing similar sounds or manipulating phonemes—as well as effective scaffolding and intervention strategies.  \n  \nKey Learning Objectives:  \n\nUnderstand the role of phonemic awareness in early literacy and its connection to decoding\, spelling\, and fluent reading\nIdentify common areas of difficulty—including sound discrimination\, blending\, and segmentation—and recognize how these challenges may appear in student performance\nExplore a variety of adaptable routines and games to build phonemic awareness across student skill levels\nGain ready-to-use tools and routines that align with phonemic awareness goals and fit within any curriculum
