Greetings Mouth-Thinkers! Wired for Reading has a class-packed Spring - Here are some highlights: VISIT WIREDFORREADING.COM TO REGISTER Classes in March Intermediate Class - March 6 & 7 at Hamlin Robinson Friday 4:30 - 7:45 and Saturday 8:15 - 4:30 The fun, drama, music, and stories continue at the Wired For Reading Intermediate course! Now that you and your students have a strong foundation of phonological awareness and are able to decode single syllable words, it is time to move to multisyllable word analysis. You will learn two strategies to break down multi-syllable words by meaning and by sound, benefiting both reading and spelling. We will also review and explore concepts from Introductory more deeply and share implementation stories.
Introductory Class - March 19 - 21 and March 26 - 28 at Hamlin Robinson Thursday and Friday 4:30 - 7:45 and Saturday 8:15 - 4:30
The Wired For Reading Introductory course offers an engaging, quick, but deep exploration of linguistics as it applies to teaching reading and spelling. It simplifies English spelling patterns without compromising them, thereby empowering students to fluidly break down words. Students learn to connect speech to sounds, sounds to letters, and letters to meaning.

As a workshop-style course, we will focus on double dosing the key foundation lessons. Participants will see each key lesson modeled whole group with implementation and intervention tips and then will reteach the lesson and receive feedback and coaching in small groups with a Wired for Reading expert to guide and support. During the break out sessions, there will be five Wired for Reading experts on hand, making the participant to expert ratio 6 to 1. Each participant will also receive frames for the key lessons that include bullet points of the main concepts to support their teaching, as well as a collection of coaching tips. The workshop will expand on core foundation games and will include Make It Match with blocks, which is not covered in the introductory course. Finally, the workshop will wrap up with an Intervention pacing discussion.
