Description

In this final episode of the literacy series, Kim shares how she is implementing into Miranda's literacy instruction what the guests have taught and what she has learned from the book Comprehensive Literacy for All. Along with specific episode/guest mentions from the series and page references from the book Kim shares: How at the beginning of the series it was confusing to understand the way literacy and communication were and were not the same when using a speech generating device. What happened when she learned and implemented strategies for emergent rather than conventional stages of literacy development. What types of lessons she is using to teach the emergent writing areas of working with words, and writing with full keyboard. What types of lessons are being used to teach the transitional strategies of shared reading, independent reading, word study, and reading comprehension. What was the easiest and what has yet to be tried. The take away is to think of the elements of a comprehensive literacy program (as listed on page 205 of the book) as several buffets. Each buffet has several teaching options. To get started, simply go to the buffet and put something on your plate. When you are ready for more, return and grab more. Give yourself and your learner grace. Just start with one thing. Bite what you can chew. Repeat.

The LOMAH Podcast is an award winning show that runs topical series deep diving into an issue for 10-12 episodes with interviews from expert guests, including self advocates. Your host, Kim, has a teenage daughter with level 3 non speaking autism who will require 24/7 support the rest of her life. Like many parents, Kim has a lot of important questions. She does not claim to know the answers for her child nor yours but does promise to search for them and share what she is discovering along the way. You will notice a striking difference in the earlier shows compared to the most recent as she has grown and evolved as a result of listening to expert guests and self advocates.
