We are pleased to share some recent improvements to the classroom activities in the Systematic Reading Instruction (SRI) course:
- New and Improved Activities: We have added 22 activities to the Phase 1 Activities section and Module 5, bringing the course total to 76 activities. Existing activities have been revised and improved.
- Activity Order: The Phase 1 Activities section now includes the former Pre-reading Activities. Also, activities have been reordered to better reflect the sequence of skills and instructional strategies from the course.
- Updated File Organization: The material files for Phase 1 activities are now posted separately from the activities for easy printing. Combined material files are still available in the Resources tab.
Below is a full overview of what has changed.
