This session will explore the alphabetic principle through the lens of the science of reading, focusing on what it is, why it is essential for early literacy development, and how educators can provide instruction that leads to proficiency. Participants will examine student data to identify instructional needs and discuss evidence-based practices that support letter-sound correspondence, decoding, and encoding development.
This session is intended for Kindergarten and first grade teachers, reading specialists, interventionists, instructional assistants, and literacy support staff.
