Unlock the secrets to achieving literacy goals that truly make a difference. This episode of the Structured Literacy Podcast promises to equip educators with the tools they need to effectively assess and enhance students' phonics growth. We'll share practical strategies for recognizing high achievers and those students who may be "cruising" without sufficient growth, and show you how to make informed adjustments to your teaching practices. Discover the importance of spreading grapheme learning across early school years, and learn how to tackle the challenges of feeling overwhelmed with fresh insights and actionable advice.
Navigate the complex world of data with us, as we focus on the power of tier one instruction and the pitfalls of program hopping. We'll discuss the critical importance of honest communication with parents, particularly for students who may be lagging, and offer constructive strategies for fostering continued progress. By examining objective literacy measures like fluency and spelling assessments, we'll highlight how these tools can inform your teaching strategies and help reduce negative classroom behaviors. With a commitment to structured literacy, join us in our mission to support successful literacy practices, and be part of our collaborative journey as we look forward to a new school year.

While evidence-informed programs are seen in many schools, this doesn't make adopting evidence-informed practices effortless or stress-free. The Reading Success in the Early Primary Years Teach Along will give you the confidence to make nuanced decisions about early reading instruction, regardless of the program your school uses, and get the best outcome for every student.
