On January 21 and 22, 2016, PLC convened the first two of a four-day series of workshops on Oʻahu, referred to as Building Foundational Reading Skills (BFRS), facilitated by Teach Well, Inc. Twenty-nine teachers from six schools (including one independent school) attended the first two BFRS sessions convened at the Honolulu Airport Hotel. Hugh shared that across both days, the interactive, hands-on sessions focused on increasing teacher-participants’ knowledge and skills in (1) phonemic awareness, phonics, and fluency instruction; and (2) explicit and systematic reading instruction.
