Systematic and Explicit Teaching of the Foundational Skills Standards: Phonological Awareness, Phonics, and Sight Words


This professional learning experience focuses on the need for high-quality foundational skills instruction in kindergarten through second grade. Participants will examine what research tells us about elementary reading instruction, will learn how systematic decoding instruction and coordinated lesson structure accelerate student mastery, and will explore the consistent instructional routines that allow students to focus their attention on decoding to develop accuracy and automaticity.
