The title

The Expanded Foundational Literacy Skills module presents an understanding of foundational skills that both includes and goes beyond phonemic awareness, phonics, decoding, word recognition, and fluency. In this expanded view, we examine the critical role of all language processes (phonological, orthographic, semantic, morphological, and syntactic) to word recognition, fluency, and skilled reading. With an emphasis on explicit, systematic, and cumulative teacher-directed approaches, the module provides evidence-based, literacy related assessment and instruction appropriate for all learners. The module concludes with a discussion of structured literacy reading programs and multi-component reading interventions. **TPEs Addressed** - TPE 7.1 - Plan and Implement evidence-based literacy instruction (grounded in ELA/ELD Framework) - TPE 7.2 - Plan and Implement Evidence-based Literacy Instruction (UDL, MTSS, California Dyslexia Guidelines) - TPE 7.3 - Asset-based Pedagogies - TPE 7.4 - Literacy instruction that is active, motivating and engaging (responsive to student language and literacy development) - TPE 7.5 - Foundational Skills - TPE 7.6 - Meaning Making - TPE 7.7 - Language Development - TPE 7.10 - Monitor students’ progress using formative assessment practices (Screening, English learners, collaboration) - TPE 7.11 - Provide instruction in English language development
