Resources for Educators
Alaska’s Reading Playbook is a guide for educators teaching in Alaska’s unique educational landscape. This playbook combines decades of nationwide research with examples and resources developed by educators in our state.
Reading Resources are available to support DEED’s reading work that is aligned to the Mission, Vision, and Alaska’s Education Challenge through Alaska’s Strategic Reading Plan and the Alaska Reads Act.
Resources to Share with Families
Family Engagement Resources can be used by school districts and educators to support families in helping their child with reading at home. The resources include ready-to-print pamphlets and flyers for distribution or can be used as digital resources.
External Resources
Do you have community members who would like to learn how to provide effective and research-based reading tutoring to students? DEED recommends training tutors with the following FREE online courses:
- Saga Coach This online training program provides the foundational skills for being an effective tutor. The training is independent of grade and subject.
- Early Literacy: Print Awareness, Phonological Awareness, and Alphabet Knowledge This course explains the research of how students learn to read and how to teach early literacy skills.
- Systematic and Explicit Phonics Instruction This course explains how to provide systematic and explicit phonics instruction to students.
After completing these three courses, an individual will have the foundational knowledge needed to tutor students in reading using a DEED approved intervention or supplemental program.
