What is RLAC?
Phonics First Foundations for Reading and Spelling was developed by RLAC (Reading and Language Arts Centers) to build a strong foundation for reading and spelling success for beginning and/or struggling readers of any age. The program teaches students systematic processes for decoding (reading) and encoding (spelling). The teaching process emphasizes the incorporation of scientifically reseach-based learning strategies proven to be most effective for instructing who are at risk for reading difficulties. PhonicsFirst Foundations is a multi-sensory, systematic, structured, sequential, phonics-based, direct-instruction teaching system.
Building reading skills is like building a house. Each skill adds strength to the foundation of the "reading house," and layer upon layer, brick by brick, skill by skill, the final product emerges ---- a strong, independent reader!
