Dyslexia: My Super Power
June 3, 2021
Presenter: Caitlyn "Sissy" Varela, a 10 year old student.
As a 3rd grader, she was diagnosed with dyslexia in 2020. She did not let dyslexia discourage her from her passion to read and write. Instead, she embraced it as her "SuperPower", using it as a source of motivation across all facets of her life. Sissy shares her story of her initial struggles with school, her dyslexia diagnosis, and her newly discovered "SuperPower" that has propelled her to the top of her class and has inspired her to write a book, Doggy Daze: Jack and Princess". The proceeds from the sale of her book go to her newly established scholarship fund for dyslexic learners. This will be a fantastic webinar for students, parents, teachers and anyone else interested in the topic.
This presentation takes you through a journey of what Structured Literacy is and how IMSE's Orton-Gilligham approach serves all TIER levels of instruction and strategies for teachers to use in their classrooms, small groups or one-on-one intervention.

Continuum of Decoding Strategies
➜ EXPLICIT—SYSTEMATIC—CUMULATIVE
a necessary stop on the road to accurate word recognition and fluent text reading
April 28, 2021
Presenter: Nancy Cushen White
Use of systematic decoding strategies is a reliable path to accurate identification of the vast variety of English words—simplest to most complex. While the alphabetic principle is a foundation of English orthography, learning to read and write is a process of increasing awareness and integration of phonology, orthography, and morphology (Berninger, 2010). Phonemic proficiency and grapheme-phoneme proficiency (Kilpatrick, 2016)—in addition to guided practice with use of explicit systematic cumulative decoding strategies for word identification—are prerequisites for orthographic mapping (word recognition).

The Brain and Memory - Plus Strategies
March 15, 2021
Presenter: Regina Richards
This webinar covers the brain, a discussion of memory, and study/learning strategies. Students value by understanding how their brain works as this helps them appreciate memory strategies. In studying the brain, we will focus on various components which aid the learning process and how students can enhance their efficiency. The memory component will review the process of memory and provide strategies to enhance each of the various steps within the process. The sections on strategies will cover a range of strategies for different subjects. The strategies are designed to be especially valuable for students who struggle with learning but are also useful for ALL students. There will be strategies for all ages.

Teaching Morphology and Phonology Awareness to Improve Basic Skills
February 18, 2021
Presenters: KELLI SANDMAN-HURLEY, Ed.ED and TRACY BLOCK-ZARETSKY
Traditional phonics programs look at decoding and encoding words primarily through pronunciation and syllables. In this webinar we will show how looking at how phonology works in the context of morphology first can help students make sense of words for decoding and encoding. We will walk through how to conduct word study with a student looking through morphology and then phonology. We will show how studying any given word family allows for building better understanding of how the English language is truly structured.

IMPROVING SPELLING
TO MAKE WRITING AND READING GAINS
January 28, 2021
Presenters: KELLI SANDMAN-HURLEY, Ed.ED and TRACY BLOCK-ZARETSKY
Spelling is often left to memorization. A student may pass the weekly test, but then not be able to spell or even read those same words just days or weeks later. If students were taught the underlying structure of English spellings, they would be able to understand English words better to help improve decoding (reading) and encoding (spelling). In this webinar participants will get an overview of how English words do have logical spellings and how teaching spelling through morphology and phonology can help students with their literacy skills. Participants will be introduced to instructional strategies based on the STRUCTURED WORD INQUIRY approach to help teach spelling in a structured, explicit/logical, multisensory approach to assist all students in their classroom, small group, or individual tutoring lessons.
