Teacher Training
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! Techniques for Teaching Foundational Literacy Skills: I created this presentation for the 2023 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 several dozen techniques for teaching Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, and Fluency to adolescent or adult English learners. This 20 minute video covers the first half of the presentation. Use the presentation slides to learn about the rest of the techniques, and to link to related research.
