The document summarizes research on the Arrowsmith Program, an educational intervention for students with learning disabilities. It finds that Arrowsmith is not evidence-based, as it is not related to current neuroscience or reading research and there is only one problematic study supporting its effectiveness. It also notes Arrowsmith is very expensive and the opportunity costs of schools and parents investing in it over evidence-based programs. In conclusion, given the lack of empirical evidence and high costs, professionals and parents cannot be confident the Arrowsmith Program is an effective or worthwhile investment.
Strategies for Encouraging Reading Readiness in Young ChildrenBrookes Publishing
Do you have children in your program that struggle with oral language skills? Dr. Howard Goldstein and Dr. Elizabeth Spencer Kelley presented how to help improve the language and literacy skills of children at risk for reading challenges. Learn new ways to address key elements of reading success—oral language skills, vocabulary, phonological awareness, and alphabet knowledge.
Presented by the Story Friends™ authors, topics include:
• Discuss the skills children need before they learn to read
• Describe how to tell if a child is struggling with these skills
• Discuss strategies for teaching the necessary skills for reading
• Provide examples of these strategies
• Explain the RTI/MTSS framework

This edWebinar was designed for preschool and kindergarten teachers, administrators, speech-language pathologists, and reading specialists.
Speech and language impairment is defined as a communication disorder that affects a child's ability to produce sounds correctly (articulation), flow of speech (fluency), voice quality, or ability to express or understand language. Characteristics may include stuttering, difficulty with certain sounds, interrupted speech, abnormal voice pitch/loudness, improper word use, inability to express ideas, or reduced vocabulary. Teaching strategies include patience, individualized instruction, encouraging participation, creating an accepting environment, modeling good listening skills, speaking to the student normally, and using various listening activities to aid comprehension and production of sounds.
This document discusses facilitating speech, language, and communication skills. It defines these concepts and outlines theories of language acquisition from environmental, innateness, and integrated perspectives. It describes typical sequences in language acquisition from prelinguistic to increased complexity. It also discusses creating a naturalistic language learning environment, identifying and addressing speech irregularities, and considerations for English language learners.
This document discusses developmentally appropriate pre-academic experiences for young children. It covers cognitive development and emerging literacy skills.

Creating a literate environment in the classroompgrana
Knowing your learners is essential for literacy instruction. Teachers should understand students' developmental levels, interests, and backgrounds. Pre-assessments provide data to differentiate instruction for emergent and beginning literacy learners. When selecting texts, teachers should use a matrix to evaluate text complexity and make sure materials are appropriate based on readability, length, structure, and other factors. The five pillars of reading - phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension - form the foundation of effective literacy lessons. Noncognitive skills like motivation and self-confidence also impact literacy development.

• parents couldn’t view the curriculum;
• independent researchers couldn’t develop evidence of
