Early Language Learning - Applicable to grades PreK to 3:

This course focuses on three research based practices: oral language, phonemic awareness, and phonics. Oral language is the foundation for academic, social, and life skills valued in school and in life. This module begins with exploring the oral language skills children need and how to help children acquire them. In the phonemic awareness module you will learn that words are composed of sounds and understand the importance of phonemic awareness in learning to read. Phonics knowledge helps students use what they know about letter-sound relationships and patterns to decode unknown words. In all three modules, you will hear from experts and engage in activities that will help you develop your abilities to provide enriching environments for reading. Please Note - must have a min. of 8 participants, Preference will be given to teachers who have students with disabilities in their classroom.
