Fundations: Part Two (K – 5)
Instructors: Kristina Castellano and Michele Malone
Description: Fundations utilizes a structured literacy approach grounded in the science of reading to make learning to read fun while laying the groundwork for lifelong literacy. The program’s research-based approach and extensive materials allow K–3 teachers to confidently present a carefully structured reading, spelling, and handwriting curriculum using engaging, multisensory techniques. Fundations is aligned with the science of reading and guides teachers to provide effective instructional practices. During this course, teachers will be provided with additional strategies to help students decode words so they can build capable, engaged, and motivated readers who make greater gains. There will be a review of the six syllable types of the English language along with an emphasis of their exceptions, multisyllabic and nonsense word practice, modeling of activities, a day-to-day layout, setting up and/or help with online accounts, and organization ideas for materials.
Expected Outcome for Teachers: Teachers will gain confidence, knowledge, and experience necessary to successfully teach reading and spelling.
Expected Outcome for Students: Students will engage in a multi-sensory approach to become stronger decoders and encoders.
