Reading Foundational Skills: Accessing to Understand

Presented by Barb Novak, DPI Literacy Consultant

Location: Virtual Zoom Meeting
Presentation: Reading Foundational Skills: Accessing to Understand
Reading provides opportunities for us to understand ourselves, others, and the world. Whether reading to gather information, participate in democracy, or get lost in a great story, reading involves making meaning of marks on the page or screen. Participants in this interactive presentation will discuss how young learners (K – 2) obtain foundational skills– particularly phonological awareness and phonics – in order to understand text. We will discuss Wisconsin’s standards for reading foundational skills, a self-evaluation tool (Foundational Reading Skills Tool or FRST) for considering your foundational skills instruction, and online professional learning resources (available at https://dpi.wi.gov/reading/professional-learning/reading-foundational-skills).
