Please help Pedagogy Non Grata Classify the Following Programs.
We need help classifying these programs. For the purposes of this form, we are defining each classification based on the following.
I Don't Know: Please don't guess, if you're not personally familiar with the form, please select this option.
Structured Literacy: The explicit instruction of the 5 pillars of Literacy (phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension. Structured literacy also includes systematic phonics, which means phonics is taught explicitly, with a scope and sequence, and with decodables.
Balanced Literacy: Also teaches the 5 pillars of literacy instruction. However, phonics and phonemic awareness instruction are taught as needed, not systematically. Balanced literacy programs, also include instruction or prompts of contextual clues, such as MSV.
Whole Language: Early reading instruction, or reading interventions that does not include phonics, morphology, or phonemic awareness instruction.
Supplementary: Refers to add on tools, readers, and or programs that only target one specific skill. IE: Words their Way, Letterland, or Secret Stories. This category refers to items that do not represent complete literacy programs.
Other: Anything that does not fit into the above criterion.
