IMSE Asynchronous Phonological Awareness Course

IMSE's Phonological Awareness Training (Asynchronous) 

The IMSE Phonological Awareness Asynchronous Course is a hands-on, interactive, and personalized class delivered digitally to your IMSE.com profile that provides educators with a deeper understanding of phonological awareness and its importance in learning to read. After participating in this training, teachers will understand how to assess and teach phonological awareness to students in all three tiers of RTI. In addition, teachers will evaluate students in alphabet awareness, including letter recognition and sound recognition. Please note that while the training itself is delivered digitally, physical materials will be delivered to you so you can complete the course.

In order to receive a certificate for this course, participants must take and pass a quiz accessible through your imse.com account via the 'My Trainings' tab. You will receive two opportunities to take the quiz. If after two attempts you don't pass, please contact IMSE for next steps.
