Language Arts

The UFLI Foundations Toolbox contains all the lesson resources to accompany the lesson plans provided in the UFLI Foundations manual. 

Some of the companion lesson resources you will find below include:

• Lesson slide decks (in PowerPoint and Google Slide formats)

• Decodable passages

• Homework sheets

• Games and activities for additional practice

Free use has been extended, once again, through the 2024-2025 school year. The decodable books follow a scope and sequence.

This program has been purchased for AKG and the books are in the school. SyllaSense Decodable Readers provide opportunities for students to develop and practice grapheme-phoneme correspondence as well as an understanding of orthographic conventions, morphology, and high frequency words.

This program is mainly used in our kindergarten classes. The UFLI program has phonemic awareness activities embedded into it.

The key recommendations from the "Right to Read" execute summary are:

Early Screening: Implement universal, mandatory early screening for reading difficulties in children, especially for dyslexia, to ensure early identification and intervention.

Structured Literacy: Adopt evidence-based structured literacy programs in schools that focus on systematic phonics instruction and the science of reading, rather than balanced literacy approaches.

Teacher Training: Enhance teacher education and professional development to ensure all educators are trained in evidence-based reading instruction methods.

Accountability and Monitoring: Establish consistent monitoring and accountability measures to track student progress in reading and ensure the effectiveness of reading programs and interventions.
