Join our free Little Learners Love Literacy® webinar on Heart words.  Heart words are words that children need to ‘learn by heart’ because they cannot decode them yet.

Many Heart words will become decodable later in the program. A few Heart words will not become decodable – they are irregular or use less common phoneme–grapheme correspondences.

Even though children cannot decode Heart words when they first appear in the books, it is still useful to break Heart words into sounds when you teach them. By mapping phonemes to graphemes children will have a much stronger chance of recalling these words.

In this short webinar we will review the best ways to teach, practice, apply and assess heart words with your students.

Join our free Little Learners Love Literacy® webinar on reading fluency. Fluency is core to being an effective reader - it is required for comprehension, and comprehension is required for fluency - both are very closely linked. 

We are often contacted by teachers and parents who are concerned about children's reading fluency - what does fluent reading sound like? Are children reading the right stage book? 

In this webinar we'll
explore what fluency is, what our benchmarks are and which LLLL teaching routines and activities will help children develop fluency.
