Focus on Phonics

Georgia Educational Training Agency joins Holy Spirit Preparatory Academy and St. Benedict’s Episcopal School in  following  the State’s recommendations for social distancing during all of our professional development  classes.  Please bring your personal hand sanitizer and kleenexes with you to class.  Please use masks and gloves at your own discretion.  Breaks will be every hour.  

Early Literacy must be taken as a prerequisite to Focus on Phonics.

Focus on Phonics is designed to teach phoneme to grapheme correspondence, rules, spelling generalizations, and syllabication. Focus on Phonics provides teachers with the knowledge and strategies to effectively teach sound-symbol relationship, the rules that govern our language and the explicit, systematic way to instruct.

The required book for this class is included in the cost of the course.

Please remember to bring your CRS notebook.
