Presenter: Kathleen Williams, PhD

The Vital Vocabulary for Every Age webinar series provides clinicians with key information about vocabulary knowledge at three stages of a person’s life: the preschool years, primary and middle grades, and high school. Part 1 of the series will focus on vocabulary knowledge needed by preschool children, with emphasis on developing phonological awareness and words about print and instruction. The presenter will share information about the research supporting the value of comprehensive word knowledge as well as age-appropriate strategies for developing that vocabulary for the preschool children on your caseload.
