Dates & Times: Mondays, April 1 & May 6, 2013 4:00 – 7:00PM
Location: TEC Professional Development Center

Course Description: This class will focus on the topic of Phonemic Awareness. We will develop a working definition of phonemic awareness and how these skills are essential building blocks for later success in reading. We will explore strategies to grow these skills through stories, rhymes & songs, and games. During each session we will work in small groups to create materials for classroom use and examine picture books that promote phonemic awareness. There will be a small project to be completed in between the two sessions, which will then be shared during the second session.
About the Instructor: Susan Welch is currently an Elementary Literacy Specialist for the Newton Public Schools. She has previously taught in preschool, kindergarten, and primary grade classrooms for the past 30 years. In addition, Sue has created and published curriculum focusing on language development, literacy, and multicultural education.
