## ***ELA Resource Binder*** ![[ela-banner.png]] This Literacy Resource Binder serves as a living professional reference for evidence-based reading and language arts instruction, developed as part of my Methods and Strategies for Language and Literacy course at the University of Pittsburgh. Organized across seven foundational categories — systematic explicit instruction, phonemic awareness, beginning reading, advanced word reading, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension — this binder synthesizes research-backed practices, technology supports, and intervention frameworks including the RTI/MTSS tiered model. It is designed not only as a course artifact but as a practical tool I will carry into my teaching, continuously updated as my knowledge and classroom experience grow. **** [[Section 1 - Explicit and Systematic Reading Instruction]] [[Section 2 - Phonemic Awareness]] [[Section 3 - Beginning Reading and Early Decoding]] [[Section 4 - Advanced Word Reading]] [[Section 5 - Fluency]] [[Section 6 - Vocabulary Instruction]] [[Section 7 - Comprehension]] [[Section 8 - The 8 Essential Skills of Reading]] [[Section 9 - MTSS and RTI Support]]
