ODLEs of On-Demand Courses
Phonemes, graphemes, morphemes, oh my! What are these little bits of language, and how do they make meaning? We unpack those “Building Blocks of Literacy” and bring decades of research (aka the science of reading) to life through on-demand learning experiences (ODLEs).
Join our Positive and Engaged Learning Community (PELC) to transform your learning community from chaos to calm, increase participation, and empower children and adults with hybrid on-demand and live professional development. Starting with the module Foundations of Positive Learning Environments, we layout a blueprint for creating and maintaining a positive learning environment for everyone.

Teaching Fellowship
A learning experience designed to immerse educators in the world of teaching reading as a science. Fellows receive specialized training from our staff and guest speakers — well-respected early literacy researchers and educators. Our teaching fellows receive continual professional development and weekly opportunities for goal-setting, reflection, guidance, and support within our tight-knit learning community.
Teaching Fellows work with elementary students, families, community members, and fellow professionals from a strengths-based perspective, even adopting this skill to use for self-reflection and evaluation.
