What kind of training do Phonics Blitz teachers need to be able to effectively teach the lessons?
Since many of the concepts taught in Phonics Blitz are unfamiliar to those who teach older grades, two days of professional training is recommended. Teachers will learn about the structure of English language, the proper articulation of phonemes, common strategies for reading unfamiliar words, and many more subjects central to effectively implementing Phonics Blitz. One-half day follow up during third week of implementation is also recommended. Phonics Blitz teachers will have access to an online forum that allows them to pose questions to lead implementers and to view answers to frequently asked questions.
