Curriculum Training Options

It is highly recommended for districts adopting Functional Phonics+Morphology across grades K-5 to provide teachers who service K-2 students with a 6-hour training in Functional Phonics and teachers who service 3-5 students with a 6-hour training in Functional Morphology. 

If you are adopting Functional Phonics (K-2) only, it is recommended to provide teachers with a 6-hour training in Functional Phonics. 

If you are adopting Functional Morphology (3-5) only, it is recommended to provide teachers with a 6-hour training in Functional Morphology.
