DETAILS ABOUT WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:
This course will show you exactly how to lay out detailed, SoR-based schedules for your Kindergarten, 1st, or 2nd grade literacy block, even if you're short on time.
You'll finish the course with a highly-effective, structured schedule that:
- Makes it easy to cover all areas of the SoR, without missing important skills that would hold your students back in their reading and writing
- Allows you to meet a range of student needs, without spending hours differentiating
- Helps with student behavior, because it’s realistic and students know what to expect (we could all use a little boost in managing behavior these days, right?!)
This course will give you a crystal-clear understanding of the phonics and spelling rules of the English language.
You'll finish the course with a deep understanding of:
- Must-know spelling rules to help you better explain to your students why words are spelled the way they are
- Why certain irregularly-spelled words (you might refer to these as “heart words”) have odd spellings
- How to divide words into syllables (so you can clearly and effectively teach your students to do so too!)

As most teachers, I'm busy, so I truly appreciate having access to a course that is well-organized, very clear, no-fluff and to the point.
I'm also happy and validated to have realized some of the practices I've used for years are not all bad. I need to make adjustments in some areas, and the videos have helped me figure out where to improve and how.
I think there are a lot of self-proclaimed SoR "experts" on social media who don't really know what they're talking about, but Alison is not one of them—she's the real deal!

- Nancy L.
"The course was very organized, informational, and I love that I can come back to it and review if needed"
- Jackie B.
"I would definitely recommend this course. I’m about half way done and it’s amazing! I do reading interventions for K-5th, and I am finding this very helpful!"
- Cindy P.
"I love how it's easy to understand. It is very practical for those who like practical ways to implement the SoR in the classroom. I am loving the way it is set up by topic. The videos allow me to do the course while I workout which is great for busy lives!"
- Taylor R.
"I learned so much I didn't learn during my student teaching and in school. I benefited a great deal from the examples you gave as well as what to say to the students, since the strategies are so new to me."
- Sandra A.
"I LOVED the course! It pulled together all of the theory behind my practice and gave me lots more ideas and confidence moving forward with my structured literacy instruction."
