About the course
This half day workshop is highly interactive and designed to allow for teacher input and active engagement via activities and discussions throughout as they develop competence with a research-based approach grounded in the science of reading.
The Fundations® Levels 4–5 Set Up for Success Launch introduces participants to a structured literacy approach to supporting upper elementary students’ continued development as skilled and confident readers, spellers, and writers.
The Launch provides teachers with an overview of the Fundations Levels 4 and 5 curriculum and instructional activities, allowing them to delve into the materials and resources needed to teach the program and learn how to use the Teacher’s Manual, Student Skills Book, FUN HUB®, and Lesson Delivery Tool to plan and deliver effective lessons. Upon completion, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to implement Fundations Levels 4 and 5 in their classrooms with confidence, helping students extend foundational skills into advanced word study, morphology, vocabulary, syntax, fluency, comprehension, and written expression.
