ISSS News and Noteworthy:
More ISSS Literacy Connections

ISSS partners with other SERC initiatives to provide many literacy-related professional development opportunities for teachers, SLPs, and other support services professionals. During the 2002-03 school year these included two trainings offered by Maryellen Moreau, Engaging Young Children in Storytelling, and Linking Language and Literacy Through Story Narratives. Participants at both of these workshops engaged in hands-on learning with materials such as “Braidy” featured in the photos. Braidy and the Story Grammar Marker, including instructional manuals, are available in SERC’s library.

Both of these professional development opportunities were brought back during 2003-04 by popular demand. Engaging Young Children in Storytelling was offered through SERC’s Early Childhood Education initiative, while Linking Language and Literacy Through Story Narratives was made available within SERC’s Literacy initiative.
