I have come away from this training…with more knowledge about each area of effective reading instruction and feel more fully equipped to teach reading as well as support the literacy initiatives in my school… It has already had an impact on my work as specialist and coach.

This course has been eye opening. This information will impact my teaching as I now know that I can lay the ground work that leads students to the reading process. The application activities were essential to understanding the reading process. I will be using all of the activities moving forward.

I’ve gained a lot of knowledge about how to successfully implement phonics and phonological awareness instruction into my daily reading block, building their orthographic reading skills and building up their storage of words that become ‘sight words’ for students.
