Emergent Literacy Strategies for Students on Alternate Assessment
This class is a revision of Emergent Literacy Instruction for Students on Alternate Assessment. It reviews the same routines but adds depth and breadth. This course will focus on emergent literacy skills for students with significant cognitive disabilities. The concepts and strategies apply to any student on alternate assessment, K-12, who is not yet reading or writing. It is not appropriate for students with dyslexia or other learning disabilities. Content is based on the work of Karen Erickson and David Koppenhaver, and will include specially designed instruction, the comprehensive literacy framework, principles of effective literacy instruction, communication and core vocabulary, and five instructional routines: shared reading, independent reading, foundational skills, independent writing and predictable chart writing.
