This course will address important concepts for the effective teaching of phonics and the alphabetic principle. Phonics-related questions will be addressed, including: Why teach phonics? Who needs phonics? How much phonics instruction is sufficient? What type of phonics instruction works best? and more! Through research-based readings, practical case studies, video examples, and peer discussions, you will learn to design instructional activities that strengthen students' skills in phonemic and phonological awareness, letter-sound correspondence, and phonograms.
