Learn about Monticello Central School District’s journey to successfully implement best practices for teaching phonemic awareness and phonics. This session will explore how a school designed and refined its approach to these foundational literacy skills, leading to significant improvements in student literacy outcomes. Participants will gain valuable insights into evidence-based strategies, curriculum alignment, teacher training, and progress monitoring while having an opportunity to reflect on their own current practices. The team will also share their approach to managing change by systematically layering on one component at a time, including leadership practices, individual grade-level support, and intervention systems.
