2025-03-05 09:00 - 15:00 (America/Kentucky/Louisville) | Virtual
Language Enrichment for Older Students is a Tier II intervention for upper elementary and middle school students who struggle with foundational literacy skills. The curriculum is based on the principles behind the science of reading and includes the components of structured literacy.

Language Enrichment for Older Students coursework includes instruction in:

1) the structure of the English language for reading and spelling;
2) developing vocabulary and listening and reading comprehension skills;
3) research that supports structured literacy instruction; and
4) implementation, through practice, of a 30-minute lesson.
This curriculum moves students quickly past basic sound-symbol correspondences to instruction in reading concepts such as affixes, roots, and combining forms, syllable division, and reading patterns to help accurately read longer words. The lesson plan includes lessons from Developing Metacognitive Skills, a curriculum focused on building comprehension skills for students in grades 4-8.

Structured Reading & Spelling Volume 1 (Virtual)
2025-07-28 09:00 - 2025-07-31 15:00 (America/Kentucky/Louisville)
Structured Reading and Spelling (SRS) is designed to specifically address older students (9th-12th) and adults who lack foundational and functional literacy skills. This is a structured literacy program that has two tracks (Standard or Accelerated) depending on the knowledge level of the student. SRS is an all-inclusive scripted manual that provides explicit instruction in word-attack skills, morphology, comprehension, and composition. The program starts at the beginning and gets progressively more complex as the students demonstrate mastery of the content through progress monitoring. There are 5 manuals in total. Current professional learning covers SRS Volume 1 Standard and Accelerated content

Structured Reading & Spelling Volume 2 (Virtual)
2025-08-04 09:00 - 2025-08-05 15:00, 2025-09-15 09:00 - 2025-09-16 15:00 (America/Kentucky/Louisville)
Structured Reading and Spelling (SRS) Volume 2 training is the next step in professional learning for instructors of high school students and adult learners. Participants in this two-day, live virtual training will deepen their understanding of foundational literacy skills, understand the impact of reduced literacy skills on adults, and learn research-based methods of instruction specific to an adult learner.

Participants will receive SRS Volume 2A Standard, SRS Volume 2B Standard and SRS Volume 2 Accelerated. These manuals are fully scripted and include student materials that contain lessons in: word attack skills for multisyllabic words, engaging narrative and expository texts, vocabulary activities, comprehension and summarization activities, and advanced grammar skills that aid in composition.

SRS Volume 1 professional learning is a pre-requisite to this course.
