Grounded in the Science of Reading, this training emphasizes the critical components of structured literacy, including phonological awareness, sound-symbol relationships, the six syllable types, decoding and word recognition, phoneme-grapheme mapping, high frequency words, spelling, vocabulary, and reading fluency.

Participants will learn how to deliver multisensory, explicit, and sequential instruction that is diagnostic and responsive to student needs. Through a blend of seminar-style instruction, hands-on practice, and ready-to-implement strategies, educators leave prepared to support early literacy development in both whole-group and intervention settings.

This course meets the foundational training needs of classroom teachers, interventionists, and special educators and is aligned with the instructional shifts required by dyslexia legislation and early literacy mandates.

Upon successful completion of all days of this course, participants are eligible for 30 NYS CTLE credits and 2 graduate credits* through our partnership with Adams State University.
