Description: This week-long intensive course focuses on emergent literacy instruction for students of all ages with significant disabilities (students who do not know most of their letters/sounds most of the time, aren’t engaged during shared storybook experiences, etc.).

Included are principles and components of emergent literacy instruction, a range of instructional and assessment strategies, and a variety of technologies and classroom supports for emergent literacy learning. SCECH and college credits will be offered for this course. Appropriate for teachers of students with IEPs taking the MI Alternate Assessment.
