Course 2 of the Science of Reading and Structured Literacy Awareness courses will explain the subskills of word recognition that must be explicitly taught and practiced to develop the neural processes needed for skilled reading. Participants will learn more about phonemic awareness and phonics, the strong correlation between spelling and reading, and will develop a knowledge of morphology and its role in understanding the spelling and meaning of words in the English language. This course will also provide guidance and resources to support educators across grade levels and content areas. 

This course requires an enrollment key which is provided upon successful completion of Course 1: Building a Statewide Awareness of The Science of Reading and Structured Literacy in the "Wrap Up" section.
