Raising Reading Achievement with Strong Phonemic Awareness

February 26, 2025 | 3:30pm - 4:30pm CST
Phonemic awareness is key to reading and writing, with nearly 90% of struggling readers facing phonological processing challenges. Neuroimaging advances have enhanced our understanding of these skills. This session explores: 1) phonological awareness within phonological processing, 2) assessments aligned with development, and 3) effective instruction and intervention.
