In this video online course, participants will review the six syllable types, learn strategies for breaking words into syllables, and strategies for teaching children to read multisyllabic words. Participants will also learn the meanings of common roots and affixes and how directly teaching them will help students to both read and comprehend text.
Participants must complete an end of course test with a passing score of 80% before receiving their Continuing Education credits and certificate. The test may be taken as many times as necessary to obtain a passing score.
District and campus curriculum coordinators or lead teachers are encouraged to use this course within professional learning communities or grade level teams as professional development for strengthening core reading instruction. Downloadable resources should be printed and used during hands on activities while pausing the video. Each participant may register and view or review the course independently, complete the end of course test, and receive their CEU certificate. The course may continue to be viewed as a reference when implementing strategies with students throughout the school year.
