Grade Level

Go back to the basics with a fresh focus on phonics. Effective phonics instruction requires specific teaching and learning targets bolstered by understanding reading development and the instructional models used historically. Through a review of reading fundamentals and direct phonics instruction, teachers will learn proven strategies of practice and repetition to support readers struggling with letter and word decoding automaticity. By investigating formative assessments for phonemic awareness and phonics, teachers will activate reading, writing, and spelling tools and teaching strategies with an eye on student engagement for better overall reading comprehension and achievement.

 

We are pleased to offer an updated version of this course, using a new and up-to-date phonics text written by literacy expert, Wiley Blevins. 5282: Systematic and Explicit Phonics Instruction for Early Reading and Writing Success is aligned with current research on the Science of Reading, and offers the latest and best practices to build foundational phonics skills.
