Effective Reading Instruction for Beginning Readers
Clearing Up Misconceptions About the Science of Reading
With Special Guest, Susan Brady, Ph.D. Professor Emerita at the University of Rhode Island
What does the Science of Reading inform us about phonological awareness, phonemic awareness, and phonics?
What is and what is not part of the Science of Reading?
The importance of phoneme awareness and other foundation skills for beginning readers is well documented. Unfortunately, there are widespread misunderstandings about how phoneme awareness skills develop and about how they should be taught. In this session, the misunderstandings will be evaluated, drawing on research findings that clarify how phoneme awareness actually develops and that provide guidelines for effective teaching of phoneme awareness and other foundation skills both to beginners and to older struggling readers.
