Virtual training and classroom meeting series on the foundations of Visual Phonics*

Description

This workshop is based on the collective research works of the ICLI, deaf educators, speech language pathologist, general educators and personal experiences of the presenters who are certified Visual Phonics Trainers. Through the use of brief lectures, interactive games, video clips and audience participation, the participants will learn the foundations on which Visual Phonics is based; produce the 52 hand cues and written symbols and see techniques for integrating Visual Phonics into classroom activities.

 

The workshop consists of two parts: (1) three-part virtual training and (2) seven-part virtual classroom. Attendees will choose one three-part virtual training session to attend and also participate in seven (7) 1-hour virtual classroom meetings, November-May, to support the implementation of skills learned during the training.

* The development of phonological awareness and phonetic skills is part of the Idaho Core State Standards. These skill areas have been very challenging to address with many of our students who have language delays, English Language Learners, individuals with speech or auditory discrimination problems or who are deaf or hard of hearing because these skills are traditionally taught by using auditory input. The See-the-Sound Visual Phonics system was introduced in 1982 by the International Communication Learning Institute (ICLI), to address this challenge. See-the-Sound Visual Phonics provides an option for teaching these skills and not require the use of any auditory input. Visual Phonics is a multi-sensory approach which uses tactile, kinesthetic, visual and auditory feedback in conjunction with 52 hand cues and written symbols.
