60-minute Webinar video: This is a recording of a training that I presented to a group of teachers in February 2022. It gives a quick background on reading research and then an overview of the resources available in the abc English Online Library. (Also available on YouTube.)
Sample Lesson Outline & Teacher's Guide: This printable packet will help you understand how to get started using the abc English Online Library resources and Phonics books.
New! Structured Literacy Presentation: I created this presentation for the 2022 LESLLA Symposium. You can read the full presentation by viewing the Speaker Notes (press S on your keyboard after opening the presentation). You'll learn about the Bridge Model to understand how to teach adult literacy & language learners (LESLLAs) with a Structured Literacy approach. There's also a discussion about why assessment of decoding skills is important for literacy level students.
Professional Development for your Organization: I'm available for a limited number of training webinars for organizations that would like additional training beyond what is offered above. I offer 60 minute webinars via Zoom or Google Meet for a fee of $150 (USD). It is recommended that you set up a 5-Session Study Circle plan with your group of teachers to learn from the above training resources first, then send a list of questions or topics you'd like me to address in a follow-up webinar. Here is a recommended Study Circle plan:
