As the 2020–21 school year begins, literacy educators are in a unique situation. Due to COVID-related learning loss, we must think about acceleration in a new and different way.
In this webinar, we do a deep dive into the work of accelerating all readers, considering the roles of foundational skills mastery, a safe and supportive learning environment, data collection and assessment, and the settled science of reading instruction through the lens of the SIPPS (Systematic Instruction in Phonological Awareness, Phonics, and Sight Words) program for grades K–12. We also discuss beginning-of-the-year instructional guidance and recommendations for remote learning.
