[GRADUATE CREDIT] Science of Reading and Structured Literacy in K-2

Grounded in the Science of Reading, this course emphasizes the critical role of integrating phonics instruction with vocabulary, syntax, morphology, fluency and comprehension. Each lesson not only teaches each skill in isolation but applies students' knowledge to decodable texts.   

Through a hands-on, high-leverage approach to small group instruction, you’ll learn to:

  • Teach key reading strategies to move students from decoding sound by sound to mapping sight words. 

  • Implement strategic vocabulary instruction with a focus on multiple meaning words. 

  • Teach syntactic awareness to support students' ability to fluently read phrases and comprehend text.  

  • Guide students in spelling multisyllabic words.

  • Plan and deliver multi-component Structured Literacy lessons that focus on phonics, vocabulary, syntax, spelling and comprehension.

  • Six months of access to pre-planned comprehensive structured literacy routines through the Decoding Duo digital manual of your choices.

Whether you're a classroom teacher, interventionist, or literacy coach, this course offers a clear, actionable framework to help students meet the increasing literacy demands of grades K-2.

Course Commitment. 15 hours

Course Duration. 6 months to complete coursework from June 1, 2025 or enrollment date.

Access to Decoding Duo Lessons. Participants will select one manual and receive free digital access for 6 months. 

Graduate Credit (1) is available through Gordon College for an additional fee of $75. Once you register for the course you will receive instructions on registering for graduate credit.  

What People Are Saying:

Thank you for all that you taught me to help my students. The structured literacy template saved them. I know that sounds dramatic, but it's the truth. There were 4 students in my group that struggled with learning basic skills, like short a words. You gave me a starting point and a focus, but then you gave me "permission" to use less to teach them more. Once we figured out the 4 day format was working, the magic began. I am including the beginning of the year DIBEL scores along with their end of the year scores. Their teacher and I cried today, because it's not just their academic progress, but their confidence has increased greatly. They went from barely whispering at times and trying to blend in to the background, to raising their hands and volunteering to show everyone how to read a word. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you notice, many of their scores are JUST below benchmark...their progress is AMAZING!!!
