SWWC is thrilled to support your team with professional learning, team development, and system support to effectively implement and sustain evidence-based literacy practices and programs in your district or school. Explore the links in the left sidebar to learn more about the variety of Regional Structured Literacy Services to support your district and school teams!Structured Literacy (SL) prepares students to decode words in an explicit and systematic manner. The instruction is based on careful and continuous assessment in order to be individualized and meet a student’s needs. The learning is hands-on, engaging, and multimodal. The six elements to SL instruction are:
- Phoneme Awareness
- Sound-Symbol (phoneme – grapheme) Correspondences
- Patterns and Conventions of Print (Orthography)
- Morphology
- Syntax
- Semantics
