Foundational Skills to Support Reading for Understanding in Kindergarten Through 3rd Grade

This video from Regional Educational Laboratory Midwest (REL Midwest) discusses the most effective evidence-based practices for teaching decoding to early readers. Strategies in this video are based on the What Works Clearinghouse practice guide, Foundational Skills to Support Reading for Understanding in Kindergarten Through 3rd Grade (https://ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/PracticeGuide/21)
