Fantastic presenter; her knowledge of the interaction between ADHA, language, phonology, and literacy is great. I might listen again! Love the quality of the screener tool and how the results are helping students get the right help quicker. Can't wait to share with some Kindergarten teachers!

The course introduced me to a new screener. I appreciated that it was comprehensive and encouraged early intervention. I am not sure if I can apply it to my practice due to my school district's budget.

Well presented course to explain kindergarten readiness and how some children may not be ready for the demand of kindergarten. Having a screener like this early on will be helpful to identify those children needing extra supports. Especially helpful was the research presented on how many children may not be ready for kindergarten based on SES and language learning factors. Also helpful were the visuals that outlined the connections between speech and language to learning of literacy.

The presenter read from the screen and when she went off the slides, she was very repetitive. The time spent on the Wells site was not effective when showing the different subtests since they couldn't be fully shown. Then she repeated all the subtests after,

It is very applicable to my work in schools, the instructor explained things clearly and I love that she used real world case studies. So often case studies are fabricated and very obviously fit a specific mold- not like what we see in real life!

This screener would not replace what is currently available. The presenter was somewhat hard tofollow because her presentation was not fluent.After saying that “wait and see” should not be an option,why was Max a “watch” after his screening.Seems odd that math was included.

It was good and did give good info on her screening…but didn’t seem the most organized as she presented the screening profiles. It is helpful, but I feel like if I used this screening tool, I’d have a lot to familiarize myself with first since so much of this presentation was on case studies and not necessarily how to use it. It seems to be a great and comprehensive screener that is much needed at the Kind level right now!

I thought it absurd that 3 of the test questions were actually testing whether you could remember the NAMES of the children who had different problems according to the screener rather than identifying what areas the screener is screening!

Instructors have a wealth of information to use during instruction when a students are screened using the Well Screener. The characters on the computer are administering the test so each student has the same visual and auditory stimuli for the different items on the subtests.

The screener developed is fantastic and very useful for new and moderately experiences SlPs. It also provides uniformness in the screening process. It is also helpful to parents and teachers.

It was very technical and not enough about why screeners are important. It also confused phonological awareness and phonemic awareness. Maybe there was not enough time, but there needs to be more discussion on what teachers should look for in general for students who are at risk.

The framework provided for how language and literacy interact was helpful for understanding the big picture and the challenges for each area and as a whole. This was a step above Kindergarten Readiness and shows how important the language foundation is.

The connections between speech and language skills were made clear. The online screening tool looks to be worth exploring, but it was not very well presented in the course. "You'll just have to go out to the site" to understand - not satisfying.

The title was misleading. I was interested in learning information about the screener to decide whether or not to implement in my district. Instead, the majority of time was spent justifying assessment. I have many unanswered questions specific to the screener.

Great overall information about the importance of kindergarten screening. Given large workloads, it seems difficult to do this screen. Also, the district has limited funds so I'm not sure the district would cover the costs as students already are given the state required assessment of early literacy skills.
by

Not necessarily conducive to how some SLPs screen. Requires paid program and students need tested multiple times where evaluations aren't encouraged until the end of kindergarten. I was hoping for something that would give more immediate recommendations.
