Welcome to “Oral Language and Phonology.” This module is the second of six online modules in "Building a Strong Foundation: Developing Early Literacy Skills" professional learning series, aimed at supporting teachers’ efforts to teach reading foundational skills in grades K through 3. 


About This Course

In this module, participants will examine the language foundations of reading and learn about the oral and written language systems related to literacy. Participants will learn the progression of oral language development and make connections between the language components and literacy instruction.

Building on participants’ knowledge and awareness of the language foundations of reading, the next area of focus explores how a language-rich environment in the classroom can help further develop students’ oral language and literacy learning. It includes descriptions and examples of the three elements of a language-rich environment and videos of lessons that demonstrate how teachers can provide interactive language opportunities.

In the phonological awareness development and instruction section, participants will learn about the three most common reading related phonological processes and their contributions to reading development and difficulties. Next, participants will learn about the importance of phonological awareness and explore the levels of phonological awareness as well as the developmental progression of phonological awareness skills. Participants will then learn about the importance of phoneme awareness and its relevance to reading.

Once participants have learned about phonological and processing and why it is important, they will learn how to teach phonological awareness and implications for typical and struggling readers. Participants will identify where students are on the phonological awareness continuum as a method of formative assessment and learn about effective phonological awareness instruction. Participants will learn about effective phonological awareness instruction and analyze two lessons to identify effective features.blendable sounds. Participants will complete phonemic awareness activities and view phonemic awareness videos as well as classify types of phonemic awareness skills.

Finally, participants will review effective phonological awareness instruction and analyze two lessons to identify effective features of lessons on phonemic awareness.
