LETRS Unit 7 Session 1 Check for Understanding

Introduction

Unit 7 of the LETRS (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling) course marks a significant shift into the practical aspects of phonics and word recognition. Session 1 in particular lays the foundation for understanding the importance of systematic phonics instruction and how it connects to effective reading development in students from kindergarten through fifth grade. The Check for Understanding at the end of this session serves to ensure that educators have a firm grasp of the foundational principles covered, including the alphabetic principle, decoding strategies, and the role of explicit instruction in phonics instruction.
