**Please note, this learning experience is a virtual event and will not be hosted at a physical site.**

In this synchronous virtual learning experience via Zoom, participants will gain insight into how children build words into their sight word memory.  Printed word recognition depends on fast, accurate orthographic mapping. According to Louisa Moats, orthographic mapping is the mental process used to store words for immediate and effortless retrieval. It requires phonemic awareness, letter-sound knowledge, and the mechanism for sight word learning. Participants in this session will explore ways to incorporate orthographic mapping into their daily phonics instruction.
