Description:
How can we make literacy instruction both effective and engaging? This interactive 2-hour workshop explores how linguistic phonics (also known as structured linguistic literacy or speech-to-print) and student interests can be used to support literacy development.

Participants will learn how to apply linguistic phonics principles to literacy instruction while leveraging high-interest topics, such as Pokémon, to increase motivation and create meaningful opportunities for practice. Through practical examples and hands-on activities, participants will explore ways to teach early phonics skills, advanced phonics skills including multisyllabic word reading and spelling, morphology, and more through engaging activities.

Whether you are a speech-language pathologist, reading interventionist, or educator this workshop will provide evidence-informed strategies and ready-to-use ideas for powerful literacy learning opportunities.

Learner Outcomes:
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Explain key principles of linguistic phonics.
- Identify literacy opportunities within students' personal interests like Pokémon.
- Apply principles of linguistic phonics to Pokémon and other high-interest topics.
- Apply practical, ready-to-use strategies in intervention or classroom settings.
