Welcome to the Winter 2008 NCBIDA Newsletter.

Educators and parents will be able to brush up on their understanding of phonics and the continuum of structured language that students need to be taught. Presenters are NCBIDA board members and teacher trainers Nancy Cushen White, Nancy Redding, John Osner, and Frances Dickson.

The workshop will include two breakout sessions covering basic and advanced material:

Beginning Phonics: How to Help Children Make Sense of Unknown Words
with Nancy Redding, M.Ed., and John Osner, M.Ed.

This workshop is designed for parents or educators who would like an introduction to phonics or a "phonics-refresher" course. It will include a review of common terminology as well as strategies to help students decode and encode words encountered in elementary school.

Advanced Phonics and Structure of the English Language
with Nancy Cushen White, Ed. D.

This workshop is designed for educators who are familiar with systematic approaches to reading and spelling one-syllable words and want to learn more advanced strategies that can be applied to the multi-syllable words typically encountered in upper elementary, middle, and high school.

Registration fees: $40 for NCBIDA members, $50 nonmembers, $55 walk-ins, $30 students

Pre-registration ends Wednesday, February 6, 5:00 pm. Individuals may register onsite.
