SLM Teaching Phonology

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 Phonology” module, participants:

• explore the phonological domain of language and the role phonology plays in reading acquisition
• review the sounds of the English language and their correct academic pronunciation
• examine the impact of a student's background or home language on learning to pronounce sounds and developing phonological awareness
• discover how to build students' phonological awareness skills towards phonemic awareness using specific activities

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.
