The Online Elementary Reading Academy takes the best of CORE’s Teaching Reading Sourcebook and Assessing Reading: Multiple Measures, and packages them into an online, asynchronous, 7-module professional development course. Using these textbooks as a foundation, the Online Elementary Reading Academy teaches about reading assessment and the five critical components of reading instruction and offers clear and explicit teaching models to help educators help all students, including those with word-reading difficulties such as dyslexia, grow to be strong readers.

CORE’s Online Elementary Reading Academy can help you fulfill Oregon’s requirement that at least one K-5 teacher per building completes dyslexia-related training. Our Online Elementary Reading Academy has been approved by ODE to address the following two focus areas: Understanding and Recognizing Dyslexia (URD) and Foundational Skills in Reading (FSR).

The next national sessions of the Online Elementary Reading Academy start July 23, Sept. 17 and Oct. 22. 

If you would like to host your own cohort of 15 or more educators from your district, contact events@corelearn.com or call (510) 540-4200 ext. 4. You will be allowed to choose the start dates and course lengths that work best for your team, and you’ll receive a dedicated course facilitator. We also offer a six-day in-person Reading Academy that is held at your site. Both the in-person and Online Elementary Reading Academy are approved for dyslexia-related training by the Oregon Department of Education. 

The Online Elementary Reading Academy also offers:

• Flexibility: The course is asynchronous and teachers can complete modules on their own time and at their own pace over 7 – 10 weeks.
• Affordability: The $500 course fee not only includes these textbooks, but also seven learning modules and access to a library of lesson modeling videos. Discounts are available for groups of 12 or more. You can also create a custom cohort for a team of 15 or more.
• Collaboration: Educators get the chance to interact 1:1 with other course participants and expert course facilitators.
• Trust: More than 1,500 educators across nearly 100 districts have participated in the Online Elementary Reading Academy over the past four years to grow their knowledge and skills.
