This course is designed for teachers who desire a strong foundation in scientifically based reading research from which to make judgments about what to teach and how to teach it. Course content is designed to produce successful outcomes for all students and is especially important for those working with students at risk of failing to learn to read or with those who have already fallen behind.

Topics covered include oral language development, phonemic awareness, systematic phonics, orthography, handwriting, fluency, comprehension, morphology, history of the language, dyslexia, and assessment. Components of effective instruction will address environmental, cultural, and social factors impacting student performance.

Research demonstrates a strong link between children’s early abilities in phonemic awareness and their later reading skills. Struggling readers are apt to have phonological processing deficits that are causal to their word-reading deficits. Extensive meta-analysis demonstrates the powerful effect of phonemic awareness training on reading and spelling, especially when the prevention and early remediation occurs during Pre-K through 2nd grade.

Our ten hour Introduction to Phonemic Awareness uses an Orton-Gillingham approach by providing teachers with multisensory methods.

  • The structure of sounds, syllables, words, and sentences
  • Engaging, playful and highly effective for teaching phonemic awareness, metacognitive strategies and listening skills
  • Accelerated reading and writing growth of entire classroom
  • Reduced incidence of children with reading delays

Participants will leave with both teacher and student materials to be used immediately.

Audience:

  • Pre-K through 2nd grade teachers
  • Intermediate Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventionists
  • Special Education staff
