SUMMARY:Vocabulary Processes and Reading Comprehension: A Dynamic Assemblage of Concepts
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Shane Templeton\, Ph.D.\, Foundation Professor Emeritus of Literacy Studies\, University of Nevada\, Reno\nModerated by Beth Lawrence\, MA\, CCC-SLP\, CEO\, InferCabulary Inc. \nSponsored by InferCabulary \nWatch the Recording\nClosed captioning will be added to the recording within 2 weeks of the live presentation. Get a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \nConceptual knowledge and development are fluid\, flexible\, and dynamic. This recorded edWebinar demonstrates how teachers may nurture and develop vocabulary knowledge and growth in the context of developing comprehension. The presentation addresses: \n\nHow teachers can realistically apply the most effective research-driven practices for teaching word-specific and generative vocabulary\nHow students’ developing-vocabulary knowledge interphases with ongoing comprehension and understanding during the actual process of reading\n\nWord-specific learning focuses on concepts that are critical to understanding a topic or reading selection. Generative learning focuses on an understanding of morphological processes that generate most of the words in the English language. Extensive research over the last two decades has provided important insight into the nature and course of learning both word-specific and generative vocabulary\, and this edWebinar provides “best practice” examples of instruction for primary\, intermediate\, and middle school. We address how this instruction\, which includes the significant role of background knowledge\, supports and interacts with comprehension across disciplinary areas. \nResources are provided that offer supportive and robust content and instructional “how-tos.” This recorded presentation will be of keen interest to teachers\, those who work with teachers\, and those who are responsible for making decisions about instructional resources for schools and districts.  \n \nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Shane Templeton\, co-author of Words Their Way\, is Foundation Professor Emeritus of Literacy Studies at the University of Nevada\, Reno\, and a former classroom teacher at the primary and secondary levels. His research has focused primarily on developmental word knowledge in elementary\, middle\, and high school students\, and he has been published in both research and professional journals. \nIn addition to Words Their Way\, Dr. Templeton has authored or co-authored a number of books on the teaching of literacy and word study\, including Teaching Reading and Writing: The Developmental Approach (2nd edition); Words Their Way: Vocabulary for Middle and Secondary Students (2nd edition); and Orthographic Knowledge and the Foundations of Literacy. A speaker and consultant nationally and internationally\, Dr. Templeton has served on the Usage Panel of The American Heritage Dictionary and is co-author of elementary literacy and phonics/spelling/vocabulary curricula for Houghton Mifflin Harcourt\, Pearson Education\, and Savvas Learning Company. \n \nAbout the Moderator \nWith 27 years of experience as a pediatric speech-language pathologist focusing on literacy\, Beth Lawrence co-founded an educational technology company to provide innovative\, engaging\, digital solutions for literacy and learning problems present in every K-12 classroom in the U.S. Deena Seifert and she are authors of the Test of Semantic Reasoning. They present nationally about the importance of semantic reasoning and their two unique approaches to teaching vocabulary using visuals and critical thinking: InferCabulary and WordQuations. \n \nClosed captioning will be added to the recording within 2 weeks of the live presentation.  \nJoin the Be a Literacy Hero community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming edWebinars\, and view recordings of previous programs to earn CE certificates. \n\nInferCabulary is a web-based\, K12 tool developed by language and literacy experts\, that engages students in a broad spectrum of literacy skills\, including exposure to complex text (audio and visual)\, word recognition\, vocabulary\, and inferential comprehension. Because InferCabulary is game-based\, requiring active engagement and critical thinking\, research has shown it to be far more effective—and fast—at deeply teaching word meanings than traditional instruction methods—and students enjoy the challenge.

As a student turned educator\, Dr. Anderson believes since learning doesn’t occur in a vacuum\, educators must actively engage in teaching methods\, practices\, and interventions that fit their students’ unique needs. Thus\, Dr. Anderson uses his inside vantage point of dyslexia to assist peer-educators in laying a learning foundation for differently abled students to meet their specific needs. Please watch as Dr. Anderson shares some of his experiences and tips to help educators succeed with dyslexic students. \nThis recorded edWebinar will be of interest to K-12 teachers\, librarians\, and school and district leaders.  \n \nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Keyon L. Anderson has encountered and overcome many hardships while seeking a better future for himself and his family. Despite being the first in his immediate family to graduate from high school\, he now holds two degrees in social work from California State University\, Long Beach (CSULB). He also completed his Doctor of Education in educational leadership at the University of Southern California (USC) Rossier School of Education. For the past decade\, he has worked with students and families as they navigate the college admissions and financial aid process. \nDr. Anderson’s education\, professional\, and entrepreneurship experiences have provided him with a special knack for helping students reach their fullest potential and guiding them through the college admission process. These experiences have also aided in helping him understand the importance of parent education and engagement in ensuring their children’s collegiate preparation and success. \n \nAbout the Moderator \nListen. Learn. Teach. It’s that simple. Terrie Noland uses this philosophy as an innovator and a motivator\, and it’s evident as she leads\, coaches and mentors thousands of K-12 educators about the science of reading each year. She has a unique perspective on the need to unify all stakeholders around a vision for education to smash the reading divide for the millions of struggling readers. Her daily mission is to add value to educators to help influence transformational changes in school districts across the country by addressing the needs of marginalized students. Terrie seeks to share her expertise and passion to encourage and to illuminate a path towards success and measurable outcomes. \nIf you looked at Terrie’s resume\, you would be confused. Her undergraduate and graduate degree work placed her in the field of criminal justice. However\, it was through continuous listening and learning that led her on a journey in education starting out in preschool teaching and administration\, then becoming a Certified Academic Language Practitioner (CALP) and earning a Ph.D. in literacy and educational leadership from St. John’s University. Terrie is also a John Maxwell certified speaker and coach. \nAs Vice President of Educator Initiatives at Learning Ally\, Terrie works to ignite enthusiasm and excitement by building champion educators and administrators on creating cultures of literacy and learning. \nClosed captioning will be added to the recording within 2 weeks of the live presentation. \nJoin the Empowering Struggling Readers community to network with educators\, participate in online discussions\, receive invitations to upcoming edWebinars\, and view recordings of previous programs to earn CE certificates. \n\nLearning Ally is a leading education solutions organization committed to transforming the lives of struggling learners.
