Decoding Foundations: Building Letter-Sound Connections in Early Childhood
This course equips early childhood educators with essential knowledge and practical strategies for teaching the foundational decoding skills that bridge phonological awareness and reading. Decoding—the ability to translate written symbols into sounds and blend them into meaningful words—is the critical next step in the reading development process. The course explores developmentally appropriate approaches to letter-sound instruction, systematic phonics teaching, and the connection between decoding skills and emergent reading. Through evidence-based instructional techniques and hands-on activities, educators will gain the tools needed to support young children in making the crucial connection between spoken and written language.
