OL&LA Benefits Educators in Language-Diverse Classrooms by Making Structured Literacy Accessible for All Learners

The growing recognition and adoption of the science of reading and Structured Literacy across the United States represent significant progress toward equitable literacy education. However, for students from linguistically diverse backgrounds, there is more to the solution.

While Structured Literacy is effective for linguistically diverse students like Multilingual Learners, English variety speakers, and students who may have dyslexia, educators also need to understand second-language acquisition research to build upon their students’ existing literacy and language skills.

Say hello to OL&LA, an asynchronous online course that gives today’s educators the tools they need to unlock the full potential of every student. OL&LA personalizes professional learning for literacy by integrating evidence-based reading instruction, second-language acquisition research, and CORE Learning’s nationally acclaimed Teaching Reading Sourcebook. This Structured Literacy course is specifically tailored for educators in language-diverse classrooms that include Multilingual Learners, English variety speakers, and students with dyslexia.
