As a result of participating in this educational activity, learners as members of the healthcare team will be able to:

    2.    Utilize basic spelling and reading terms to assess and advocate for explicit teaching needed to systematically approach complex words.

    3.    Demonstrate how dictionaries can support learning sound-letter correspondence and structural word analysis as a foundation for learning to read at any age.
