Bridging Gaps: Literacy into Technology

Date: Fri, Oct 11, 2013 from 9:30 am - 10:30 am
Location: Plaza 4
Category: literacy

Description:
This presentation is designed to help early childhood professionals use repetition, literature and assistive technology to create a language-rich environment for both verbal and nonverbal children. Saltillo technology now allows nonverbal children within one classroom to benefit from using Read It Once Again's curriculum technique of combining literature with repetition. Participants will learn how to use goals and objectives combined with appropriate activities necessary to provide students with an educational program that will meet their basic needs in each of the five domains commonly addressed in the early childhood classroom.
