Participants will explore the benefits of targeting Tier 2 vocabulary words\, understand why students with language challenges often struggle with word knowledge\, and discover activities that promote long-term vocabulary retention. Participants will learn innovative ways to target comprehension skills —without relying on traditional texts—making lessons more accessible and flexible. Finally\, attendees will learn how to integrate these strategies into literacy-based therapy\, using texts to address a range of speech and language goals. Clinicians will leave with a versatile set of low-prep tools they can apply across groups and goal areas.Participants will: \n\n\n\n\nIdentify the three tiers of vocabulary and explain the benefits of targeting Tier 2 vocabulary in speech-language therapy sessions.\n\n\n\nDescribe common factors that contribute to vocabulary and comprehension difficulties in students with speech and language disorders.\n\n\n\nImplement at least three low-preparation activities to teach and reinforce Tier 2 and Tier 3 vocabulary in a school-based setting.\n\n\n\nApply strategies to target main idea\, summarizing\, and inferencing skills without the use of written texts.\n\n\n\nDevelop a literacy-based therapy plan that incorporates pre-reading\, during reading\, and post-reading activities to address both vocabulary and comprehension goals.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\nHallie Sherman
