Understanding Evidence-Based Literacy Practices Pre-K–3: A Self-Paced Course for Families

Understanding evidence-based literacy practices can help families better support children as they build strong reading and writing skills. 

Our free course, Evidence-Based Literacy Practices (Pre-K–3), explains what these practices are, why they matter, and how they can support children’s literacy development from preschool through third grade. No prior knowledge of literacy research is required.

We designed this self-paced course to help families and caregivers better understand literacy instruction and how evidence-based practices can support all children, including children with dyslexia.

Course Description

The course is divided into five modules:

• What Do You Mean by Evidence-Based Literacy Practices?
• What Are Examples of Evidence-Based Literacy Practices?
• What Are Examples of Literacy Practices That Are Not Evidence-Based?
• How Can Evidence-Based Practices Support All Children’s Literacy Needs?
• How Can Evidence-Based Practices Support Children With Dyslexia?

Each module includes clear explanations and audio-supported lessons that make the information accessible and easy to follow. A course transcript is also available for reference.
