The excitement and intrigue around the Science of Reading has many educators looking for clear and concise guidelines on just what to teach and how. This course helps to sort through the research, providing a pathway toward more impactful instructional practices. With 6 manageable, yet powerful shifts grounded in decades of research, you’ll learn to apply high-leverage practices to support oral language development, phonemic awareness, phonics, and word-solving skills– all key components for comprehension. You’ll develop a systematic phonics scope and sequence including formative assessment opportunities that create a framework for early reading instruction. Dive into the science of reading to help unlock the alphabetic code that enables students to read with greater confidence and less struggle.

 

This new course format builds from module to module in a way that allows you to work through each of the essential ideas in smaller, more focused segments. You’ll find the same great resources and applicable assignments, just spread out over 10 modules.
