Perspective taking and Literacy Acquisition

Poor literacy acquisition has often been linked to poor phonological awareness, decoding difficulties, language impairment, inabillity to infer or form a mental gestalt. However, a weak ability in perspective-taking can lead to weak understanding of texts, particularly in chapter books, or literary texts. In this workshop, Prudence Low, a speech language pathologist will share her thoughts and views of this aspect of impairment, how it affects various population of students, implications for future learning and how teachers and learning support teachers could help.
