Literature-based intervention has been recommended as a best practice to support communication goals for over 25 years. This workshop will explore the reciprocal relationships between language and literacy as well as numerous evidence-supported strategies to support targeted oral and written language skills in therapeutic contexts using children’s literature. Booklists, lesson plans, checklists, and hands-on demonstrations will be provided in this fast-paced, functional, and fun session. Come, read with me!
