SLM Teaching Phonics

Structured Literacy Modules are a set of modules that discuss the components of evidence-based structured literacy instruction. The modules provide an in-depth explanation of the ways research, grounded in the science of reading, informs structured literacy, why the components of structured literacy are necessary for developing skilled readers, and how these components can be practically applied during direct instruction.

In the “Teaching Phonics” module, participants:

• how to use letter-sound correspondences as a reliable strategy for reading unfamiliar words
• how to explicitly teach sound/symbol correspondences
• reliable letter patterns for reading and the six syllable types
• why some English words are irregular for reading and a procedure for identifying them
• strategies for reading longer words, including syllable division and identifying prefixes and suffixes

Audience:

• Students pursuing degrees in education as part of their school coursework
• Administrators or school leaders needing to build background knowledge on literacy
• Those preparing to take a reading certification exam
• Any educator needing to build background knowledge on the topic

If CEUs are needed, a separate paid version (Structured Literacy Modules for CEU Credit) is available on the Neuhaus store.
