Phonics and Word Study with Wiley Blevins (Gr. 3 and Up)

Teaching Phonics & Word Study in the Intermediate Grades 
Audience: Grades 3 and Up - Educators and Instructional Leaders

Phonics and word study isn’t just for our youngest learners. This session is designed to support educators as they continue phonics and word study instruction beyond the early years. Blevins will highlight supportive instructional practices  that can benefit all students -- and specifically support our students who need to solidify their reading foundational skills. Participants will learn how advanced phonics builds on the skills taught in the primary grades - with emphasis on multisyllabic words, complex syllabication patterns, and vocabulary.
