Description: We all want our children / students to flourish in their occupational functions of academic proficiency. In the previous tracks we explored the underpinnings of reading and writing as well as the assessment thereof. Now we take a deeper dive with regards to what can be done about it. This workshop is not to promote any specific product, though we would welcome group discussion on what attendees recommend and their reasoning thereof. The information shared would be practical and applied to the developmental continuum discussed in previous tracks. Attendees are recommended to view the recorded versions of the previous tracks, though this is not a requirement for this workshop series. Attendees will be required to prepare a 4 to 5 slide ppt for case study discussion with the group.
