Language is Literacy and Literacy is Language - A Conversation with Trina and Doug
Description
It was a deep privilege to engage in a hearty conversation with Trina and Doug about their Chapter, Language is Literacy and Literacy is Language. Trina and Doug generously discuss the following:
- A pivotal moment that connected Trina and Doug
- The importance of oral language language skills from the onset of school and for life
- The complementary skill sets they both had morphed into their long term work with a focus on researching oral language, development of assessment tools (CUBED 3, DYMOND Diagnostic Assessment, etc) for oral language, creating interventions such as Story Champs to teach students via personal stories, ongoing research in the area of oral language and its role in literacy
- Students' capacity to understand language from a young age- How this crucial piece of the puzzle is so often overlooked in school-aged population
- The power of stories and its ability to connect humans
