My Specialized Experience Includes:

Phonological Awareness
Treatment in phonological awareness, a vital skill for reading development.
Expressive Language Development
Instruction in vocabulary, grammar, sentence formulation, and word retrieval strategies.

Specific instruction to teach students to identify and use six common expository writing styles: descriptive, enumerative, sequence, cause/effect, problem/solution, and compare/contrast. This enables students to understand and summarize their textbooks.
