About this episode

In episode 5 of Creative Kindergarten’s Book Club, we read and reflect on chapter 5 of Literacy Foundations for English Learners. I am so excited to be talking about phonics! Ensuring that my instruction meets the needs of all my students is so important to me, and I think about the different ways that I can differentiate my lessons so that my English learners can continue to learn and thrive!
