Online English Language Development (ELD Level 1)

Module 3: ELD Level 1 Foundational Literacy Skills

The absence of a strong foundation in basic literacy skills is often why English learners struggle to redesignate even after many years of study. The ELD 1 Foundational Literacy Skills module is designed to build skills that support oral and written fluency. These include an understanding of print concepts, phonics, phonological awareness, and word recognition.

While these skills are traditionally taught in early elementary, we made sure to use content and stories that are age-appropriate and relevant to older students.
