PAth to Literacy

A Tier 2 Alphabet Knowledge and Phonological Awareness Intervention

With funding from the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) to Howard Goldstein and University of South Florida, Howard and I have been revising the PAth to Literacy curriculum (and creating professional development modules on MTSS). The revisions include a strategic instructive feedback approach to teaching letter names and letter sounds, a Tier 3 Letter Sounds Intervention, a streamlined scope and sequence with extensive built-in differentiation for phonological awareness skills, and embedded progress monitoring and data decisions. When the research is complete, we expect to have a curriculum that is extremely easy to use, efficient, and powerful. Our aim is to have all children ready to read in kindergarten by mastering their letter sounds and phoneme blending and segmenting. The new tools will be part of the MILLIE (Multitiered Interventions for Language & Literacy in Early Childhood) suite too! Until this project is finished, here are some temporary links to handouts and MTSS resources.
