“READING: AN OVERVIEW: FROM PHONEMIC AWARENESS TO FLUENCY TO COMPREHENSION”
Reading, being the crux of all learning, serves as the most fundamental factor in the individual’s ability to learn.
Inevitably, problems with reading interfere with a student’s success in school.
“Phonemic Awareness to Fluency” This presentation will introduce the participant to the Orton-Gillingham approach, with the emphasis on phonemic
awareness, leading to the development of fluency as the bridge to reading comprehension. and “Comprehension” Within the components of reading, comprehension represents the major goal, for without understanding, learning does
not occur. This workshop will review the levels and types of comprehension and present strategies to develop
comprehension skills in a variety of reading genre. Techniques to accommodate learners of different ages will be
presented via activities and simulations. Emphasis will be on strategies to help students gain meaning of printed
material ranging from singular words to comprehending connected discourse. Layout Credit: DigitalMayhem Design

Session C Janet M. Krebs, CCC-SLP, Communication Therapy Center
“KIDS TALK: BUILDING SOCIAL PRAGMATIC LANGUAGE IN SMALL GROUPS”
Many children are able to learn language structures by role imitation. They can usually learn carryover in rehearsed
situations. However, many children use little variation and flexibility to adapt their responses to the inevitable changes
that occur in an unpredictable environment. Use of small group settings has enabled the teaching of flexibility of
response, both verbal and visual. As a result of participation in these groups, children learn to share information with
others, use of language for discussion and problem-solving, alternative way to respond in a situation, appropriate social
greetings and ways to address people, ways to gain attention, use of reciprocal language, body-space parameters and
verbalization during pretend play. Session D Jerry Tannenbaum, Attorney-at Law
Partner, Schnader, Harrison, Segal and Lewis, LLP.
“STUDENT-ON-STUDENT BULLYING & HARASSMENT:
ITS RELATION TO CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS”
One in ten children is bullied regularly. Every month 250,000 children report that other kids physically assault them. Of course, many do not report this. One in four children identified as young bullies will have criminal records by age 30. 160,000 students miss school every day because they feel intimidated by their peers.
Our speaker has practiced in the areas of general civil litigation, with an emphasis on employment discrimination and
education law. This session will address legal rights and issues involved, and include basics in Effective Planning, Free and Appropriate
Education, student discipline, and school-related bullying and harassment. This session will be of interest to educators
and parents.
