Easily implement the Science of Reading with From Sounds to Spelling!

Research indicates that only about 5% of students will learn to read without phonics instruction. That means 95% of students NEED research based, systematic, explicit instruction in both phonics and phonological awareness.

This type of instruction is the foundation of Learning At The Primary Pond’s phonics program, From Sounds to Spelling ®. This program includes easy-to-use, highly effective, differentiated learning materials, which were developed by a team of literacy specialists and teachers who are dedicated to ensuring that all students achieve reading success.

This Science of Reading MicroGrant was designed to help educators provide high quality, Science of Reading based instruction in both phonics and phonological awareness. This MicroGrant will provide educators with a science based curriculum that follows research based best practices. Along with the lesson plans and student materials, teachers will also have access to professional development and support. From Sounds to Spelling ® covers all of the components of the Science of Reading, and helps ensure that all students have the tools they need to become successful, lifelong readers.
