Structured Literacy- The in class application of The Science of Reading.
Structured Literacy is a foundational practice in the classroom. It allows for me to communicate to them in a way that is explicit. Through Structured Literacy, I can provide clear, direct instruction for each student based on their needs. Students master foundational skills before moving to complex tasks. A strong foundation sets students up for success.

Teacher circulates and assists, reteaching and/ or guided demonstration (we do) if needed.
