Components of Effective Literacy: Fluency in Phonics and Spelling Development

This is Module 3 of a 7-part series anchored in the science of reading. This module will focus on the development of phonics and its connection to spelling. This module in learning is strongly tied to the previous module, Phonological and Phonemic Awareness. When a student is weak in phonics or decoding skills, usually that student will also have a deficit in phonemic awareness.

Learner Objectives

  • Understand the difference between decoding for reading and spelling
  • Identify phonics skills from simplest to more complex
  • Recognize the importance of language connections of phonics and spelling
  • Practice activities that can be used in the classroom
  • Plan explicit steps for integration in the classroom
