Becoming a life-long language/literacy learner............on the road to success!
The purpose of this site is to encourage and facilitate the teaching and learning of language/literacy skills….for the 21st century.
This site is designed to be a resource for middle and high school teachers and
specialists and adult educators who work with students who are struggling with
language/literacy learning.
Our commitment is to the success of students with ability that has not yet been realized--students with learning disabilities, students from economically or eductionally disadvantaged situations, students in need of different learning opportunities.
S.P.O.K.E.S. is a framework for addressing all 4 of the language arts. When students learn the 6 SPOKES skills and master at least one strategy for each skill, they will be on the road to applying those skills and strategies across reading, writing, speaking and listening. We begin with Reading Comprehension. That will be followed by application of SPOKES to speaking/listening
and then writing.
This site is currently under construction. We plan to begin the updating version relating SPOKES to Common Core Literacy by June, 2013.
