Teaching Essential Reading Foundations at Any Age This training explores key concepts related to how the brain learns to read and how to build strong readers through explicit, systematic instruction in foundational reading skills — at any age. Core reading frameworks such as Scarborough’s Rope, the Simple View of Reading, the Four-Part Processing System, and Ehri’s Phases of Reading Development will be examined. The training emphasizes evidence-based literacy practices aligned with the IES Practice Guides, covering both content and instructional strategies for teaching phonemic awareness, beginning and advanced phonics, multisyllabic word reading, morphology, spelling, fluency, and the use of literacy assessments to diagnose student needs for intervention. This is essential knowledge not only for classroom teachers, but also for special educators and interventionists, equipping all educators with the tools to provide high-quality Tier 1 instruction while also addressing the needs of students who require additional supports.
