Day 2 Phonics: Phonics instruction plays a fundamental role in
teaching students to read. Participants
will learn how the Science of Reading supports this claim. Assessments will be examined and components
of effective phonics instruction will be analyzed, which includes both regular
and irregular words. Educators will be
given a thorough explanation of the syllable types in our language, and
syllable division rules will be explained in order to help students decode and
encode words. For Grades 3-6 much of this instruction could be
used at an intervention level to close gaps in Foundational Reading skills.
Appropriate grade level(s): 3-6 general and special education and 7-12 special education
