"... the guide school leaders and educators need to implement the science of reading effectively in your classrooms and unlock the power of literacy for all students.
Combining expertise and best practices from the science of reading, the science of learning, and implementation science, this guide provides you with:
The bold moves you need to realize transformational change
Practical advice for bridging knowledge and practice
An understanding of effective literacy instruction
The tools you need to ensure you are making the right investment in your literacy curriculum"
Pages 1-3, 17 and 23 are worth a look.
"The science of reading has culminated in a preponderance of evidence to inform how proficient reading and writing develop; why some have difficulty; and how we can most effectively assess and teach and, therefore, improve student outcomes through prevention of and intervention for reading difficulties.
Although the scientific evidence base for effective reading has existed for decades, the term “the science of reading” has gained traction in the last few years, potentially leading to misunderstandings. The Science of Reading: Defining Guide provides a firm definition of what the science of reading is, what it is not, and how all stakeholders can understand its potential to transform reading instruction."

Really Great Reading offers free webinars to educators to learn about how to teach reading and vocabulary.
This podcast is highly recommended to anyone that teaches children of any age.
"There's an idea about how children learn to read that's held sway in schools for more than a generation — even though it was proven wrong by cognitive scientists decades ago. Teaching methods based on this idea can make it harder for children to learn how to read. In this podcast, host Emily Hanford investigates the influential authors who promote this idea and the company that sells their work. It's an exposé of how educators came to believe in something that isn't true and are now reckoning with the consequences — children harmed, money wasted, an education system upended."
Materials include:
Teacher guides
Student workbooks
Decodable readers
Assessment and remediation guides

The good reasons this skill of counting syllables has shifted down to pre-readers as they begin to make sense of the world of literacy:
- When kids can chunk words into syllables, they can read longer words more quickly, accurately, and fluently.
- Beginning spellers do better when they can break words into pieces.

Recent discussions occurring online, in journals, and at conferences are creating uncertainties about what phonological awareness instruction will be most effective with which children. This guide addresses some of these questions by using what we currently know from the scientific research, from teacher experiences, and from observations in clinical teaching environments for children who struggle with reading.
The outline of the resource includes:
Section 1. Reading Research, Instructional Practice, and Phoneme Awareness
1.1 When should reading research influence instructional practices?
1.2 What is Phonological Awareness? Why is it Important?
Section 2. The Who, When, What, and How of Teaching Phonemic Awareness
2.1 Who needs to be taught phoneme awareness?
2.2 When should phonological awareness instruction begin?
2.3 What phonemic awareness skills should be taught?
2.4 How should phonological awareness instruction begin?
2.5 How much phonological awareness time should involve phonemic awareness activities?
2.6 Is there any value in beginning phonological awareness instruction with larger units, such
as syllables?
2.7 Do onset-rime activities have a role in early phonemic awareness instruction?
2.8 What are manipulatives and how can I use them when teaching phoneme awareness?
2.9 Is it important to teach phoneme awareness with tasks like phoneme deletion and
substitution?
Using sound chains to teach phoneme awareness
These videos were created to help you implement UFLI Foundations, a systematic and explicit program for teaching foundational reading skills.
Learn how to implement the 8 step routine. "Steps 1 through 4 serve as a warm-up and review of previously taught concepts. Step 5 is an explicit introduction to a new concept including guided practice reading and spelling words. Steps 6 through 8 are opportunities to apply concepts through reading and writing activities at the word and text level."
*Implementation overview
*Slide Deck Tutorial
*Day 1 Lessons (phonemic awareness, visual drill, auditory drill, blending drill, new concept)
*Day 2 Lessons (new concept review, word work, irregular or heart words, reading & writing connected text)
*Progress Monitoring & Implementation
