The departments of communication disorders and education will present Deborah Glaser, renowned national trainer of Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling (LETRS), at the Fourth Annual Language and Literary Conference April 27.

The workshop, scheduled from 9 a.m.- 4 p.m., in the Student Union Building Georgian Rooms, will acquaint teachers, administrators, speech-language pathologists and associated professionals with Glaser’s most current work on establishing instructional routines for reading that include oral language and writing.

Glaser is an educational consultant and professional development provider with expertise in reading assessment and a vast knowledge of instructional methods derived from trusted research. She consults with national policy institutes, assists universities with the development of research-based reading curricula and assists schools and districts with the implementation of scientifically-based reading programs and strengthening practitioners’ collaborative efforts toward improved instruction and student reading abilities.
