Simplifying Phonics with Fidelity
Simplifying phonics with fidelity: guidance for all students and especially those with disabilities, neurodiversity’s and trauma backgrounds.
“Simplifying phonics with fidelity” aims to cut out the fluff and target the important skills and concepts that all students need when learning to read. Charlotte will unpack the tried and tested methods that have shown to have the most impact after four years of implementation of structured literacy including systematic synthetic phonics instruction (SSP) at Lake Colac School. This session will provide a good base if you are starting to implement SSP in your school and also check-in for fidelity for those already on the SSP journey.
