Reading Foundations PracticumPractice builds confidence
This optional third day may be added in conjunction with the Reading Foundations program. This workshop provides invaluable hands-on experience, enabling educators to practice what they have learned. From critical pre-assessment exploration, to application of systematic phonemic awareness instruction, behavior management, game building and post-assessment, participants will experience all aspects of superior phonemic awareness instruction through highly structured activities presented directly by participants to local students.

Reading Foundations Continuum
Building on the Foundation
This one day consult continues an in depth exploration of the essential nature of strong phonemic awareness instruction through review of basic concepts and further facilitation of higher level multi-syllable skills. This workshop allows for a thorough connection between current classroom programming and students’ early literacy development. The consult takes place on-site at the school with teachers’ modeling in their classroom (Consult is pre-scheduled six to eight weeks out from the first training, with the educators from the initial “Reading Foundations” workshop. Teachers divided by grade level, specialty area and/or progress made in the methodology).

Reading Foundations Support Team
Creating self-sufficient districts
Once the school district has invested in training their educators in the methodology, it is the goal of both Read MTI and the school district to ensure that the methodology will become ingrained in the district and self renewing as new educators enter the school district and seasoned educators leave. It is therefore essential to establish a support system community of teachers thoroughly trained in the strategies required to fully assist teachers in connecting systematic and sequential phonemic awareness to all students’ individual reading development. The Support Team will provide weekly coaching, activities and program suggestions and will be responsible to provide valuable collection of data to ensure program efficiency. The Support Team will promote teacher accountability to this explicit delivery of phonemic awareness instruction through weekly monitoring of student contact and progress, ongoing online support, biweekly newsletters and monthly phonemic awareness activities. We recommend Support Team be conducted in a retreat style, with educators attending at least one overnight stay. (Five day workshop)
