About Word Aware
Word Aware is an acclaimed approach to enhancing vocabulary development in alignment with the science of language and reading (SOLAR/SoR). The program uses the latest research in language and literacy to equip teachers and other professionals with practical tools and strategies to enhance the vocabulary skills of children. Developed through years of clinical and classroom experience, the Word Aware framework is an effective and time-efficient method for expanding both spoken and written vocabulary.
The Training
This comprehensive training has been designed to help participants translate research into practice. Led by an accredited Word Aware trainer and tenured speech-language pathologist, Aoife Mc Namara, this course provides expert guidance and practical ideas that can be immediately implemented to better support children’s vocabulary growth.
Our Word Aware training is well-suited for classroom teachers, resource teachers, student support workers, administrators, senior leadership, speech-language pathologists, and educational psychologists. Participants can opt for online or in-person training offered as a one-day workshop or three 1.5-hour Twilight sessions.
