The PAF Reading Program workshop uses a variety of teaching methods, including lectures, teaching videos, modeling, lesson planning, questioning, analyzing student work, and reflection. Our course facilitators, Dee McKechnie and Cara Jordan, first present an overview of multisensory instruction for teaching reading, spelling and handwriting based on the science of reading.
After an overview of the PAF scope and sequence, the course then delves into the 5 components of the daily reading lesson, (1) review, (2) introduction of new material, (3) spelling dictation, (4) reading, and (5) reinforcement. The course supports teacher development by including relevant research for each part of the lesson along with the practical application of this knowledge. Research articles are assigned to read as nightly homework to support the next day’s class. Additionally, participants are given the opportunity to plan and implement different parts of the lesson with direct feedback from the course instructors.
Each day concludes with a brief review of the day’s lesson objective and time for additional questions.
