Signing Strategies for Reading for up to 100 participants. All
workshops are conducted by Dr. Tucker and include:

- Practice sessions for participants
- Discussion of how the strategy can be incorporated into programs that are in use in the district or by the organization
- Discussions of non-phonetically spelled words or words with "tricky parts"
- A live demonstration of the strategy with struggling readers from the sponsoring district or organization. (Students for the demonstration can be selected from special or regular populations, and they can be in elementary grades or beyond. Selection should reflect the interests of the workshop participants.)
Intended audiences include administrators, teachers or tutors who work
with students reading at third grade level or below, Special Education
teachers, speech therapists, ELL instructors and parents.
Participants are equipped to begin immediate implementation of the
strategy by the conclusion of the workshop. Although use of the strategy
