Description: SCHEDULE FOR DAY ONE OF A TWO DAY ANIMATED-LITERACY™ WORKSHOP Part 1: An overview of current research in reading, language development, attention, memory, and brain development is presented. This research helps to explain why some children develop oral and written language skills more easily than others and how teachers can use the universal sequence of language development to help all children experience more success and have fun learning to read and write. The critical elements for success in written and oral language will be discussed. Break Part 2: Strategies and materials for developing phonological awareness, vocabulary, and listening comprehension will be discussed and modeled. The activities will incorporate children’s literature, storytelling, gestures, and sound manipulation and blending activities in a playful, interactive environment. Gestures will be introduced to teach and reinforce each of the sounds needed to read and write in English. Lunch Part 3 Additional activities for developing phonological awareness, listening comprehension, and vocabulary will be introduced and modeled. Activities for introducing and reviewing an alphabet character will be modeled and discussed. Adaptations for different grade levels and abilities will be presented. Break Part 4: Guided drawing and labeling activities that provide a sequence for introducing sounds and decodable labels will be modeled. Through drawing and labeling, participants will learn how to teach and reinforce segmentation, blending, letter recognition, letter pattern recognition, and printing skills. The use of mixed up, cut and paste sentences that combine high frequency words with decodable words from the drawing and labeling lessons will be discussed and modeled. The mixed up sentences develop both word recognition skills and reading comprehension. Pattern song activities that develop both oral and written language skills and concepts will be introduced. The pattern songs move from sound manipulation and substitution activities to word substitution activities. The songs then advance from substituting single words to forming and using both noun and verb phrases. Finally, the pattern songs are used to introduce and reinforce the meaning and use of high frequency words including prepositions and pronouns. Vocabulary development, literature, and the use of drawing and labeling activities are integrated with the pattern song activities. Pp Polly Panda Paints
