Reading Foundations for Emergent and Early Readers Grades PreK-2
| This online course for teachers is designed for educators in grades PreK-2 who want to build a solid foundation in reading for each of their students from the very beginning. Information on the building blocks of reading is shared together with specific strategies for incorporating these foundational skills into everyday practice. 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.
