***** Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 For your interest, I am passing this on, I am not affiliated with IEW. Andrew Pudewa has a dyslexic child, so his insight may be helpful. Sorry this is so late! IEW conference tomorrow morning, Sat. Jan. 16, 10:00-3:30 Central Time Success in Teaching Writing: A Special Education Writing Conference from IEW [2021] FREE Registration: I copied this link for registration: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdsAMuT8BsMxgog9F58GvTeNUSBRsAodysHcJOKhZ64U5LGBg/viewform 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Good share! https://iew.com/events-classes/events/andrews-engagements-seminars/success-teaching-writing-special-education Here's the info about it if they want to see the schedule. Looks like a great list! And yeah, Pudewa is pretty out about the dyslexia in his family. I was watching one talk with him recently and he put it that that particular dc was the "most dyslexic" child he had ever seen. I sorta took what he was describing to be the language processing issues also caught under auditory processing disorder. So yes, he's speaking to a wide range there.

PeterPan Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Ok, this is a riot and SO much more fun than I anticipated! I missed the first part (hope it was recorded!) but got lured in to him teaching a group of kids. What a hoot! He's been teaching so many other things I hadn't noticed, like his philosophy on editing, his finger symptoms he uses in class, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
***** Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 Yes, it is being recorded. He is modelling good teaching skills for us too, so much good stuff here. I need to remember so much of this, especially how he paints pictures for kids with words before expecting them to write. (One of the reasons I am so against expecting writing full sentences to a paragraph in kindergarten for Common Core. They need to be encouraged to expand and use their language first through stories, songs, experiences... Model the sentences for them, but not for it to be expected by students so early...) Ok, off my soapbox. The 2nd part quickly described his materials. But the first part was pretty good if you can see it recorded sometime. I am glad Andrew demonstrated with a group of kids today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Yes, yes, so much good stuff RIGHT NOW!!! I always appreciate hearing it again. "We like to do what we can do.
