Assessing Tools for Literacy

Earn Credits
    This bundled tutorial will provide an overview of how Audio Supported Reading (ASR) can meet the challenges of students with print-related disabilities when used as an instructional strategy. We will examine how the Listening strand of the Common Core Standards aligns with many state academic standards, and how children can benefit from using dual media within the classroom.

 

Participants will earn 3.5 Professional Development Points, ACVREP, CTLE, or Continuing Education credits by viewing three designated webcasts and taking an online quiz.   This is a web-based, self-guided professional development activity for  TVIs, VRTs, O&Ms, Parents, Teachers of the Deafblind or Severely Impaired, and Rehabilitation Specialists.    Total Viewing Time: 3  hours
