A Revolution in PK-2 Literacy: Invest in Prevention and Do Less Intervention

For years, schools have predominantly focused on a core ELA curriculum complemented by an intervention program. However, mounting evidence suggests this approach has been less effective than anticipated. Many schools are shifting their focus and implementing a dedicated core phonics curriculum that seamlessly complements their existing ELA framework.

Transitioning to a preventive model can pave the way for a more robust, comprehensive literacy foundation. Ensuring students receive essential phonics instruction early on significantly reduces the need for later interventions, translating into better student outcomes and more efficient resource allocation. Join us for this eye-opening edWeb podcast as we:

• Examine the inefficiencies and pitfalls of the traditional core ELA + intervention strategy
• Showcase empirical data that underlines the transformative potential of integrating a core phonics curriculum
• Illustrate real-world success stories where schools have reduced the need for intervention through proactive phonics-based approaches

Listeners:

• Understand the long-term benefits and cost efficiencies of prioritizing prevention over intervention
• Gain insight into the design and structure of an effective core phonics curriculum
• Receive actionable strategies to integrate phonics instruction within the existing ELA framework

A special literacy grant offer will be given to listeners. The grant gives educators access to the CAPIT Reading Curriculum and Teacher Professional Development to help ensure their first-grade students gain a solid foundation in literacy.

This edWeb podcast is of interest to PreK-2 teachers, curriculum directors, ELA coordinators, and school and district leaders.
