I get a lot of questions – and hear a lot of misconceptions – about phonics instruction in Ontario kindergarten, and the use of programs like UFLI. I partnered with UFLI authors Holly Lane and Valentina Contesse on this FAQ document to help clarify all of this for my fellow Ontario kindergarten educators and those who lead and support them. We hope this is helpful!
(Note that this document was an independent volunteer project on my part; also that Dr. Lane and Dr. Contesse do not profit financially from sales of UFLI. We just want kids to read, and we’re sure you do too!)
