K to 3 Literacy Essentials: Read, Write, ROAR! - Word Builders 1


Mystery Words and Word Ladders are fun, interactive lessons that allow students to play with sounds by segmenting, blending, adding, substituting, and deleting sounds as they study words and discover spelling patterns. These two lessons are aligned to the Essential Instructional Practices in Early Literacy: Grades K to 3, specifically practices 4, 5, & 6

In the course, by explicitly explaining letter-sound and sound-letter relationships, you will learn how to replicate these lessons in your classroom to support phonological awareness development (particularly phonemic awareness), alphabet knowledge, and sound-spelling knowledge.

K to 3 Literacy Essentials: Read, Write, ROAR! - Word Builders 2


This second course in our Word Builders Series will highlight research-supported practices that help children learn about letter-sound and sound-letter relationships. The Letter Heroes lesson type in this course provides a protocol educators can use to teach children the letter name, sound, and formation of the targeted letter within the lesson.

In addition, children can find the letter in the text, demonstrating the real-world application of learning. High-Frequency Words lesson types will demonstrate how educators can use research-supported practices to teach these words that are necessarily aligned to "rules" of spelling.

Rather than telling kids to memorize the words (which doesn't work!), these lessons will demonstrate how to show children to use what they know about letter names and sounds so they can discover how high-frequency words "work." These two lesson types are aligned to the Essential Instructional Practices in Early Literacy: Grades K to 3, specifically practices 4, 5, & 6.
