With the integration of Fundations and other teaching tools we want to focus on phonics and word identification strategies for students in the younger grades to ensure they have the basic skills to make reading fun and easy, below you’ll find the GLEs that align with grades K-2 for these skills. A full list of GLEs can be found on the [|RIDE website]. Please refer to the video above for an example of an exercise you can run with your class for phonics and pronouncing the alphabet.
