This week I tried to focus on sorting through my research to formulate a power point presentation. It is tough after you have accumulated so much information to not incorporate it all. But there is no way I could have made a presentation and presented all of the information I have read thus far in my research, that would have been quite an overload for me and the one watching the presentation. I tried to narrow the facts down to a minimum so my presentation could be a short informative one. At one time in my presentation, I thought I may change the audience from the client's family wanting to learn more about how they could help their at-risk reader read better to the clinician and how it was our responsibility to promote literacy. However, I ended up going with my first plan and just made this a presentation to inform families with children who may be at-risk readers why phonological awareness is important and should be integrated in their children's life. I used facts and definitions I found throughout my research to relay my message.
I am very excited that we are finally on the down side of the hill. All semester I have felt like "The Little Engine that could" and I am still saying "I think I can, I think I can ..." This semester has been tough but I am proud of my accomplishments and I will continue to say "I think I can" until successfully complete this course.
I am looking forward to a new week and the completion of our last genre, man that sounds good.

This presentation is for anyone who would like to know more about phonological awareness and give an understanding of why it is important. Check it out .

Look under files for my powerpoint, it should be there.
