From Concept to Classroom: Implementing the Explicit Phonics Lesson Sequence to Ensure Application & Mastery of Taught Skills

During this session, participants will unpack the what, why, and how of CORE Learning’s Explicit Phonics Lesson Sequence, moving beyond theory to model concrete, practical instructional routines. Through a gradual release model (I Do, We Do, You Do), educators will learn how to guide students through a complete daily routine, including phonemic awareness activities, introducing new sound-spelling patterns, and scaffolded practice leading to independent decoding and encoding practice.

This evidence-based routine provides a powerful, student-centered structure for all learners, including Multilingual Learners (MLs) and students with disabilities, enabling them to master critical foundational literacy skills. Designed for ease of use, these routines require minimal planning, align with any adopted core reading curriculum, and provide immediate impact in daily literacy instruction.

During this session, educators will:

• Examine explicit instruction in phonemic awareness and phonics
• Explore the six steps of CORE’s Explicit Phonics Lesson Sequence and their purpose in supporting literacy development
• Discover how to apply phonics skills through decoding and encoding
