Quick Start: How Can I Use This Course?

"Unlocking Continuing the Journey to Literacy" is organized so you can take as much (or as little) as you need. The goal is to create, deliver, and assess a balanced and effective language arts curriculum.

There are 12 sections in "Unlocking Continuing the Journey to Literacy." Each section is self contained, and each section builds from the one before. That means that you can do the entire course in order--or jump around and take just what you need. It is up to you.

Think of "Unlocking Continuing the Journey to Literacy" as either a 12-course meal for you to savor and enjoy at a leisurely pace OR as a fast-food restaurant where you can eat and run.

If You Would Like to Understand Continuing the Journey to Literacy

If you would like to understand the book and how this process works, go in order. There are quizzes at the end of sections so you can check your understanding.

What To Do If You Need Additional Help

This course is designed to introduce Continuing the Journey to Literacy and help you get up and running. This introduction will suffice for some teachers; however, others would benefit from additional support courses and/or mentoring.

I will be making additional support courses for Continuing the Journey to Literacy. If there is a topic you would like to see covered, please contact me and let me know.

I added plugs for mentoring throughout the course. That way, those who need help can get it. (Scroll down for an example.)

I will share options at the end of the course for those who would like to partner with Renewal of Literacy® to bring this information to more people.

Enjoy the journey--and thank you for helping me renew literacy!
