The University of Florida Literacy Institute (UFLI) will comprehensively review the UFLI Foundations' explicit and systematic phonics program. This will include a brief overview of the program, a review of essential background knowledge needed for implementation, and an overview of the manual and materials needed. Each lesson step will be covered in-depth with an opportunity to practice the newly learned strategies. Finally, there will be a brief overview to progress monitoring and differentiation.

This learning opportunity will provide participants with the information required to implement the UFLI Foundations effectively in their classrooms.

*Please note that UFLI Presenters were directly involved in the development of the UFLI program and are working with the University of Florida.
