Learning of reading and writing and risk factors: a project about teacher's awareness

Abstract

Reports of suspected Learning Disorders are significantly increased even when it comes to problems that must be addressed with specific teaching actions. To meet that need, born the pilot project for research-training, financed by the Umbria Region, and that involves the Regional Scholastic Office and the local health authorities of Perugia and Terni, is meant to accompany a champion
of teachers of the first classes of primary school in the acquisition of a more refined professional skill with respect to the reading and writing, and early identification of risk factors.
Research has highlighted the importance of building a methodology and teaching based on observation and documentation. These tools are able to tell the story of every child learns to read and write, in an open setting to learning social perspective and respectful of the times of each. The pilot project will be extended this year to other teachers of other educational institutions and
trained teachers will become, in turn, co-trainers of colleagues in their own educational institution.
