How do young readers build foundational skills that will serve them well, K-12? Word Study, a skill set introduced in K-3 for all students and as a Tier 2 intervention for older students (particularly for students whose schooling has been interrupted), is mission-critical for children learning to read.  How do teachers differentiate instruction for students from diverse backgrounds?  Word Study is an excellent tool in the toolkit of both general education and special education teachers.

Based on teacher input regarding important licensure program content, CES has introduced a one-day Word Study workshop requirement for Moderate Disabilities licensure candidates. The course is available for free to candidates enrolling in a Moderate Disabilities licensure program as of November 1, 2015. Others may pay to take the workshop for professional development.
