Providing free resources for learning at home

In spring, we published some of our most popular educational resources for children up to grade 4. This provided material to families and educators as they worked together and helped to strengthen home and school collaboration. Over the summer we expanded on this to create an ‘At-Home Learning Resource Portal’ which includes fun and easy activities to support learning at home. We encourage you to share with your families and hope this will help during this time.

PROFESSIONAL LEARNING

Science of Reading Professional Learning

Transform Literacy Instruction!

Recent research and major scientific advancements into literacy acquisition have uncovered a large disconnect between how we are teaching children to read and how children actually learn to read. Despite motivated, dedicated educators, only 70% of students leave school well-equipped with the literacy skills to reach their full potential. We want to help educators change this.

This course will provide educators with:

an overview of the Simple View of Reading, that outlines that successful reading acquisition depends upon two components: decoding and linguistic comprehension;
five high yield teaching strategies considered to be the most effective teaching strategies for increasing the rate at which children learn;
the knowledge of how to teach coding skills; and
the knowledge of how to teach language comprehension skills.

Equip your teachers with the skills they need to impact all students' reading proficiency.
