Technologies, Activities and Tips for Literacy Support A workshop for parents and education support staff working with individuals and small groups This practical and interactive workshop will focus upon demonstrating and discussing quality resources that will provide essential structured, multisensory activities to engage the interest of students who find reading and writing difficult. It will be of particular interest to parents of primary and lower secondary aged children looking for ideas for home use. Teaching assistants wanting to extend their own knowledge and expertise with effective strategies and activities will also find this informative session beneficial. A particular emphasis will be placed upon the use of technologies and e-resources (including iPad Apps) but other games and activities that provide constructive support will also be explored. During this workshop participants will be introduced to: • A selection of iPad Apps for reading and writing support • Multi-sensory literacy activities and games that are ideally suited for home use • Sources for books and e-resources that will entice reluctant readers • Strategies to encourage writing by using different approaches and technology Presented by SPELD Victoria in collaboration with Cheryl Dobbs When Friday 13th March, 10am –12pm Where SPELD Victoria, 60 High Street, Preston Cost $25 per delegate Registration http://literacysupport.eventbrite.com.au
