What You'll Learn:
The Journey to Reading:
Understand the path every child takes to become a reader and where phonological and phonemic awareness fit into that journey.
Phonological vs. Phonemic Awareness vs. Phonics:
Learn the differences between these key concepts and how they build upon each other.
The What, When, and How of Teaching:
Learn what skills to teach, when to teach them by grade level, and how to teach them effectively with strategies rooted in research.
The Science of Phonological Awareness:
Delve into what research says about why phonological and phonemic awareness matter and how they influence long-term reading success.
Why Attend This Workshop?
Phonological and phonemic awareness are critical building blocks for literacy, yet many educators feel uncertain about how to teach them effectively. This session provides clarity, confidence, and evidence-based solutions to ensure your students master these foundational skills. Many teachers feel like they "don’t know enough"and that is completely okay. Teaching literacy is complex, and educators already manage so much. Taking this first step is a meaningful and empowering action. Be kind to yourself. This is a great place to start. Vulnerability takes center stage in this journey, inviting educators to embrace their "aha" moments, rethink their practices, and spark meaningful growth and innovation.
Who Should Attend:
Classroom teachers (PreK-3rd grade or intervention teachers for older students)
Literacy specialists and coaches
Special education teachers
Administrators seeking to understand literacy best practices
Format:
This virtual session is designed to be interactive, engaging, and practical. In just one hour, you’ll gain the knowledge and tools to elevate your teaching.
