Our 2019 Teacher Training is available entirely online and entirely free! Use the video lectures, along with their corresponding notes and activities, to gain a better understanding of the English language by exploring topics like the Science of Reading, phonemic awareness, systematic phonics, and more!
Introduction to the Logic of English training. This video will explain how the course works and the importance of the small group activities.
Is telling the story using pictures, reading? What about reading a foreign language when you don't understand the vocabulary? Explore the definition of reading to set the stage for this course.
Come learn what the research says about the order we should teach the five strands of reading: phonemic awareness, systematic phonics, fluency, vocabulary development, and comprehension skills.
Introduction to the structure and format of the Foundations and Essentials Logic of English curriculum.
From the kinesthetic awareness of sounds to rhyming, phonemic awareness builds the foundation for reading.
Teaching incomplete phonics rules can leave students frustrated as half of the words they encounter are explained as "exceptions." Learn how complete and accurate phonics instruction can explain 95% of English words.
Learning handwriting activates the sensory-motor part of the brain that teaches us to read better. Discover how systematic handwriting instruction can help your students.
Review our journey so far: the science of reading, the five strands of reading, phonemic awareness, systematic phonics, and handwriting instruction.
Real teachers ask questions to help them apply what they are learning to their classrooms. See if this video answers questions you may have.
Review the single-letter phonograms and learn new multi-letter phonograms. Flashcard practice included.
Learn the Logic of English finger spelling method to cue students to use the correct spelling when a sound can be spelled multiple ways.
Understand the linguistic definition of consonants and vowels.
Spelling analysis is a process for understanding how words are spelled and read. Practice spelling analysis on these one-syllable words.
Foundations Practice Teaching Activity
What has neuroscience taught us about how the brain learns to read? How can we apply that knowledge to the teaching of phonics and reading?
Video Notes
See if you can apply what you know about spelling rules to these words.
Fluency in phonograms, reading, spelling, and writing strengthens through regular practice. Learn how Logic of English uses games so students can develop fluency and the joy of learning.
Review the new phonograms introduced and how to apply them though spelling analysis. Review what the science of reading says about how students learn to read and develop fluency.
Watch a classroom teacher practice phonograms through a relay game. Then apply your knowledge of the final phonograms through flashcard practice.
