Description: See the Sound-Visual Phonics is a system of 46 unique hand cues and symbols that represent the sounds of English without the ambiguity of English orthography. Included are the sounds commonly referred to as vowels, consonants, diphthongs and digraphs. This two day workshop demonstrates how this strategy allows students to “see” or conceptualize speech sounds and relate them to print.

- Implementing and monitoring special education procedures
- Supporting emergency & probationary certified and new teachers
- Implementing differentiated instruction via literacy & math strategies, co-teaching, PBIS, Kansas Learning Strategies and Content Enhancement Routines
