Language Patterns
Language Patterns is a literacy program for beginning readers, developed and tested in Canadian classrooms, and fully consistent with the Ontario Language Curriculum (2023) and the recommendations of the 2022 Ontario Human Rights Commission Report, Right to Read.
Language Patterns is systematic, comprehensive and science-based. It includes phonemic awareness, letter-sound based decoding, orthographic and morphological knowledge, as well as comprehension, critical thinking, and creative writing - all developed around a sound synthetic phonics core.
Teachers will find following the program straightforward - you can get started with whatever level of knowledge you have. You can start now and be proud of what you and your students can accomplish! The Teacher Editions give you clear directions on each lesson. As you work through the program, you will acquire more knowledge and experience of the Science of Reading in action.
