Literacy Strategies in Action:
Resources for Primary Teachers
This professional development resource, produced jointly by KET and the Kentucky Department of Education, addresses the skills literacy experts agree are essential to learning to read. Conveniently packaged on a set of two CD-ROM discs are more than 100 video clips illustrating lessons organized around the five key early reading skills identified through the Reading First project:
- Phonological Awareness
- Phonics and Word Study
- Fluency
- Vocabulary
- Comprehension
Literacy Strategies in Action also includes lessons that support the reading-writing connection and teaching in a multi-age classroom. Excerpts from interviews with the featured teachers provide context for the lessons and insight into their instructional decisions.
