The science of language and reading is for everyone
Structured, explicit language and reading instruction across primary and secondary grades
 
Presenter Professor Pamela Snow
 
Professor of Cognitive Psychology in the School of Education, La Trobe University
This presentation will cover the key elements of spoken and written language that teachers need to understand in order to provide structured and explicit instruction and support across primary and secondary grades. The relationship between spoken and written language will be described, drawing on findings from developmental psychology that oral language is biologically primary while reading, writing and spelling are biologically secondary. The implications of this distinction will be emphasised and important historical influences on the English writing system will be outlined. Key components of language will be discussed with reference to their importance for supporting primary and secondary students with language and literacy difficulties.
