Parts in Series

An online course video series in which you will learn powerful, evidence-based reading strategies with guidance on how to integrate into ELA lessons. Each course is a video of a complete face-to-face workshop facilitated by Jennifer Johnson, the Director of 504 Services, Dyslexia, RtI, and PreK in Comal ISD.

In the videos, Jennifer explicitly models and inspires effective reading instruction. This series includes a multitude of engaging and fun activities for teachers of students K-2, or students who are just beginning to read, ELs included. Each course includes free downloadable instructional materials and links to valuable resources.

Phonological to Phonemic Awareness Continuum

Children's phonological awareness includes a continuum of skills that develop over time.In order for children to learn to read print, they must be aware of how the sounds in words work. They must understand that words are made up of individual speech sounds, or phonemes. Phonemic awareness involves segmenting, blending, and manipulating sounds.

Bridging Phonemic Awareness with Beginning Phonics

In this online course, you will explore effective strategies for how to teach letter names, letter sounds, and letter formation (beginning phonics). Participants will also learn how to integrate phonemic awareness instruction into beginning decoding and encoding skills.

The Six Syllable Types

In this video online course, you will view and practice modeled instruction of the six syllable patterns of English words, and learn how to guide applied practice with various multi-sensory activities. The instruction is designed to introduce the syllable patterns to students in approximately 5 minutes, and then embed multi-sensory practice within a word study block of an ELA (TEKS-based) curriculum with Kindergarten through 2nd grade students. All teachers can enhance their vocabulary instruction of struggling readers once they are exposed to the knowledge of the six syllable patterns. Teachers who are English Language Learners may also find that knowledge of the six syllable patterns unlocks the mystery of how to pronounce, decode and spell English words.

Sight Words-Strategies for Teaching Irregular and High Frequency Words

In this video online course, you will learn the difference between irregular words and words that follow a phonics pattern. You will review the Fry word list, sort words according to commonalities, and determine the words that are truly irregular. You will learn techniques to teach irregular words and common sight words that students may be struggling to differentiate between.

Reading Fluency

In this online course you will learn the components of fluency, how to determine where to begin fluency instruction, and research based methods to build fluent readers.

Spelling Beyond Memorized Lists

In this video online course, you will learn how to teach spelling using a phonetic approach rather than a set of activities designed to encourage memorization instead of application. This course is designed to answer the question, "Why do my kids spell the word correctly on the test only to misspell the word in their writing 5 minutes later?"

M&M-Multisyllabic Words and Morphemes (Grades 2-3 focus)

This course is part of an online course video series in which you will learn powerful, evidence-based reading strategies with guidance on how to integrate into ELA lessons. Each course is a video of a complete face-to-face workshop facilitated by Jennifer Johnson, the Director of 504 Services, Dyslexia, RtI, and PreK in Comal ISD. In the videos, Jennifer explicitly models and inspires effective reading instruction. This series includes a multitude of engaging and fun activities for teachers of students K-2, or students who are just beginning to read, ELs included. Each course includes free downloadable instructional materials and links to valuable resources.

Putting the Pieces Together-Connecting All 5 Components of Reading

In this online course you will review the five components of reading (phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension) and learn ways to fit the components together into a thorough reading lesson series.

Small Group Instruction and RtI

Many teachers know that their small group time is an important component of the reading block. They also know that the small group lessons should be targeted and research-based; however, many wonder what strategies are the most appropriate according to research. In this online video course you will learn research-based strategies to address a number of reading difficulties that young children possess as well as ideas for tracking progress.
