Research shows that learning to read does not happen naturally. Students need explicit, systematic instruction in foundational literacy skills including phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, oral language, and comprehension. When these essential components work together, students develop the skills needed to become confident, capable readers.
This pathway helps educators understand the Science of Reading and apply evidence-based practices that strengthen early literacy development, close learning gaps, and support long-term academic success.

Did you know that phonological awareness holds the power to transform early literacy skills and set the stage for a lifetime of reading achievement? Phonological awareness is the ability to recognize and manipulate sounds in spoken language, a crucial skill for developing reading and spelling proficiency. Join Chrissy Romano Arrabito for this timesaving, to the point session as we delve into phonological awareness and its critical role in the process of learning to read, including evidence-based practices, research findings, and practical techniques to foster phonological awareness skills for students in grades K-2. Get ready to unlock the power of phonological awareness and set your students on the path to reading success! Chrissy's expertise in evidence-based reading practices will empower you with the tools necessary to incorporate phonological awareness activities into your classroom that will ensure reading success for all your students. This is training three of seven for the series titled "Evidence-Based Reading Practices for Instruction."
