Reading Foundations for Emergent and Early Readers (Grades PreK-2)

The course begins with building a solid understanding of such concepts as phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, and phonics. Teachers will then strengthen their toolbox of strategies for teaching spelling, word families, decoding, sight words, vocabulary, and fluency. Teachers will also learn assessment strategies such as story retelling and asking students to answer questions using textual evidence. Teachers will learn how to help their students choose “just right” books for their individual reading levels while balancing the types of text they read. To help in this regard, teachers will gain strategies for teaching students the features of nonfiction text. Finally, strategies for making the most of classroom read-alouds will be shared. By the end of this continuing education course, teachers will more fully understand how to best help their students master the foundations of reading, and will have gained valuable classroom ideas to incorporate into their everyday teaching.
