Presenter: Meghan Boyle (she/her), Tutor Training Coordinator, Literacy Minnesota. About Meghan.

Description: Phonics–the knowledge of the sounds letters make when they are combined to make words–is essential to beginning literacy and beginning level English language instruction. But, many teachers and tutors lack the knowledge, confidence and resources to teach the topic. Attend this session to learn why phonics instruction is important and leave with several ideas for phonics activities and resources to bring back to your teaching and tutoring sessions.

This session will be most useful to tutors and teachers working with beginning literacy, low beginning and high beginning English language learners.

CEUs will be available to attendees at the end of the session. Please note that if you miss more than 15 minutes of the session, we are unable to issue you CEUs or count your attendance towards a certificate.

If your schedule changes and you are no longer able to attend, please check our training calendar for other dates or video trainings. Phonics in Beginning ESL: Recommendations, Activities and Resources is NOT currently available as a recording but is offered periodically.
