In this professional development session, we will explore effective strategies for teaching phonological awareness that go beyond the traditional "Letter of the Week" approach. Participants will learn how to build a strong foundation in early literacy through activities that focus on sound recognition, rhyming, syllable segmentation, and blending, rather than relying solely on introducing one letter at a time. By shifting the focus to auditory and cognitive skills, we’ll discuss how to promote deeper understanding and application of phonics, helping students develop essential skills for reading and writing. Teachers will leave with practical, research-based strategies and tools to foster a more holistic approach to phonological awareness in their classrooms.

What is data? It is information we collect about the world, but in Kindergarten it is the information we collect to interpret how to better assist our students learning.
Shared reading is a strategy that engages students with a text in a way that promotes comprehension, fluency, and enjoyment of reading. Shared reading allows students to participate actively in the reading process, learn new vocabulary, and build confidence in their reading skills. The structure allows instruction to cover multiple curriculum standards in short, engaging lessons. Through shared reading every child will see themselves as a reader and share their love of reading with others.
