This curriculum guide is used after completing RLAC’s intensive Phonics First™ Foundations Professional Development course. RLAC trained teachers use the Foundations curriculum to implement structured, step-by-step multisensory lessons to teach reading and spelling skills to beginning, at-risk, struggling, learning disabled, and ELL readers. Lessons emphasize a balance of reading and spelling for mastery of phonetic and non-phonetic words. In addition, lessons include structured syllabication study for decoding mastery of multisyllable words. Instructors who have completed other, in-depth multisensory courses will also benefit from the Foundations curriculum guide.
Foundations lessons are divided into four Learning Layers:
- Layer One - Basic short vowels, consonants and digraphs
- Layer One Plus - A "shortcut" for beginning instruction for
older students --emphasizes short vowel mastery through one- and
two-syllable words
- Layer Two - Blends, two-syllable words, plurals, simple spelling rules and
familiar affixes
- Layer Three - Silent-e, vowel pairs, consonant-le endings, y as a vowel,
r-controls, homonyms, contractions, more affixes
- Layer Four - Diphthong vowels, soft c and g, spelling rules, additional
suffixes
