Training Objectives•Understand the need for a district-wide, research-based, explicit systematic phonics progression framework•Have knowledge of the research that supports the development and selection process of the framework •Understand the elements of explicit, systematic phonics instruction and the research that supports the development and the implementation process in the classroom•Understand the district adopted phonics progression and how it consistently builds student learning across grade levels •Understand the components of the explicit phonics lesson plan (Hear It! Say It! Read It! Write It!) •Have the knowledge to deliver first week of lessons •Develop a week of lesson plans for implementation of phonics progression along with knowledge to continue the planning process

What are your beliefs about the right to learn and making a

difference?

Something to think about…“Phonics instruction is necessary but insufficient. What matters is changing how teachers teach, how they group

students, how they motivate children, and how they assess children. Programs that consistently make a difference are ones that engage children in active lessons in which they interact with other children,

constantly practice their new skills with a teacher and their classmates, and receive

fast-paced, exciting lessons.” (Slavin, Lake, Chambers, Cheung & Davis, 2009)

The teacher is the single most important factor in student achievement.
