Literacy 101 Topics

The Reading Brain
The human brain is not designed for reading, so how do we train it to read? Learn about the parts of the reading brain and what skills and connections need to be developed in order to learn to read.

Phonics
What is phonics? Why is it so important when learning to read?
How do we assess phonics? How do we teach it effectively?Find the answers to all those questions and more on this page.


Fluency
What's fluency? How do we improve our kiddos' reading fluency? This page contains everything you wanted to know about fluency (and more!)

Know Your Options: Phonics Interventions
Not all phonics interventions are created equally. Some are more effective and efficient than others. So what does the reading research actually tell us about the real world evidence-base for popular phonics programs? And how can we even make sense of the scientific research anyway? [This is a DEEP DIVE, folks]

Linguistic Phonics 101
Curious about Linguistic Phonics (Speech-to-Print) but just don't quite ... get it? Here, I take us for a dip into Linguistic Phonics, and more specifically, what makes it different from traditional phonics programs.


Resource Lists


500+ Free Decodable Readers
A collection of links to free or nearly free digital decodable books and passages for kiddos still mastering phonics.

400+ Decodable Chapter Books
Got kiddos that are a bit older but are still working on phonics? I keep a list of all the decodable chapter books I find here!

400+ Entry-Level Chapter Books for Older Beginning Readers
These are my favorite entry-level chapter books for older beginning readers. They're easier to tackle, but not babyish. If your kids have fairly strong phonics and PA skills, but are still building up their fluency and reading stamina, this list is for you.

Seaside Literacy Resources on TPT
I have a Teachers Pay Teachers "store" with all the decodables, decodable activities, and other literacy materials I've created over the years. Nearly everything in my "store" is free.
