LITERACY COUNSELORS
To become a Literacy Counselor you must have previously taken a Level 1 Literacy course, or have read and applied techniques from Comprehensive Literacy for All This would be a 2-3 day CONVENTIONAL training with Drs. Karen Erickson and David Koppenhaver OR a 2-3 day CONVENTIONAL training with presenters from Michigan. Please contact us if you are not sure of the Michigan presenters. If you have taken an emergent course, you can apply, but the conventional training is the experience we are looking for. At least a year of working with students using the knowledge gained is also suggested.

We are often asked by educators and parents about courses in comprehensive literacy instruction with Drs. Karen Erickson and David Koppenhaver. At this time, Camp ALEC is not able to offer workshops. However, there are excellent resources online as well as the book Comprehensive literacy for All authored by Drs. Karen Erickson and David Koppenhaver. The components of comprehensive literacy instruction will look different for emergent and conventional literacy learners.
First, ask the following questions:
Does the student……
Know most of the letters, most of the time?
