16867 - Lit Badge: Phonics and Word Study

Course Description

This class will focus on Phonological Awareness. Phonological Awareness is critical for learning to read any alphabetic writing system (Ehri, 2004; Rath, 2001; Troia, 2004). There are several well-established lines of argument for the importance of phonological skills to reading and spelling. NCCAT will offer a six-session Canvas series focused on a research-to-practice exploration of the foundational skills in early literacy. Attend all six and earn an NCCAT literacy badge or attend individual sessions to deepen your own understanding of the building blocks of beginning reading. Two courses will be added each quarter. 10 contact hours.
