I had the pleasure of being a guest on the Speechie Side Up podcast, and the episode is out now! You can listen to it wherever you listen to podcasts or watch the interview on YouTube!
We discussed some of your burning literacy questions like:
- Who are the literacy experts?
- What are the roles of SLPs when comes to literacy?
- What are some literacy assessment tools?
- How do you incorporate literacy into existing sessions (e.g., articulation)?
- How do you make literacy intervention fun and engaging?
- What are some activity ideas to work on literacy skills including phonological awareness, phonics, reading fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension?
If you enjoy this episode, stay tuned for my upcoming presentation at the Literacy Connect workshop on Saturday, June 22nd, 2024. I’ll be diving deeper into all these topics, and give you even more practical literacy activities that you can start incorporating into your lessons. Here’s a sneak peek you can watch now! There will also be a live Q&A on the day of the event. Register now for Literacy Connect!
