Educators and parents can learn tried-and-true criterion-referenced strategies to assess the decoding, spelling, and phonetic awareness abilities of your students. This informative event will cover error analysis and intervention strategies that can be used in the regular classroom, with special education students, or as part of RTI.

Participants will be provided a complete battery of criterion-referenced tests for grades end-of-Kindergarten through 12th grade, and a progress monitoring computer program that will record and calculate student scores.

C. Wilson Anderson, Jr., is president of Education Consultants of the Midwest, Inc., as well as an author and producer of educational videos and computer learning programs. Wilson is a fellow of the Academy of Orton-Gillingham Professionals and Educators (AOGPE) and has received many professional honors, including the Samuel T.
