The Science of Reading Literacy Look-Fors Walkthrough Guide is a practical tool designed to assist administrators, literacy coaches, and teachers in establishing a common understanding of evidence-based literacy practices. The creation of this guide grew from a partnership with the Connecticut State Department of Education, CAPSS, and Literacy How with the recognition that districts were searching for a “look-for” document that would distill the science of reading into a user-friendly format.
Although not exhaustive, this guide includes essential “look-fors” designed to support teams of educators as they collaborate to develop effective literacy practices across classrooms. The Science of Reading Literacy Look-Fors Walkthrough Guide addresses seven crucial areas of evidence-based literacy instruction based on the science of reading:
- Features of Effective Instruction
- Oral Language
- Phonemic Awareness
- Phonics
- Fluency
- Vocabulary
- Comprehension
The guide is a comprehensive tool designed to equip teams of educators with a common language and understanding as they work together to develop effective literacy practices in classrooms, within and across grade levels. Teams should not expect to see every area addressed in every lesson, nor expect to observe every “look-for” listed here in each lesson.
The cost of the Literacy Look-Fors Flipbook is $10.00 each. Please fill out the order form below and submit to place your order.
