Structured Literacy - The Best Way to Teach Children to Read

Discover why Structured Literacy is the best method for teaching children to read in our latest video. Structured Literacy isn't just a fleeting trend in education; it's a comprehensive approach shaping the future of reading instruction. Dive into the importance of Structured Literacy and its impact on student success with us.

Before the rise of Structured Literacy, educational approaches like balanced literacy, phonics, and whole language were prevalent. As an experienced primary teacher, I've seen firsthand the limitations of these methods. Now, with robust research backing Structured Literacy, we're unveiling the most effective strategies for teaching reading.

A staggering 65% of fourth graders in the U.S. read below proficiency levels, indicating a literacy crisis. Structured Literacy offers a solution, focusing on explicit, systematic instruction that breaks down reading into manageable components, following a well-defined scope and sequence.

Moreover, the phoneme-grapheme level of instruction is crucial in Structured Literacy. Our video discusses the unmatched benefits of this approach, emphasizing its necessity in every teacher's toolkit. Check out our resources and videos on phoneme-grapheme mapping to enhance your teaching methods.

Structured Literacy isn't just for struggling readers; it's universally effective. Its explicit and systematic nature makes it an invaluable resource for all students, especially those facing reading challenges. It targets foundational literacy skills, offering a lifeline to those who need it most.

Yet, despite its effectiveness, Structured Literacy isn't standard in all schools, often overshadowed by outdated methodologies like Balanced Literacy. Our video tackles these flaws, highlighting the need for a shift towards more effective teaching practices.
