Central Unified presents two phonics supplements after pilot shows early gains; board to consider adoption Feb. 25
Summary
Central Unified reported midyear gains from fall pilots of two supplemental phonics programs — UFLI Foundations and 95% Phonics Core — and asked the board to consider adoption at its Feb. 25 meeting.
Central Unified School District presented results Feb. 11 from a fall pilot of two supplemental early‑literacy phonics programs and told trustees it will bring an adoption item to the Feb. 25 board meeting.
Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services Dr. Boatwright and Assistant Director of Literacy Ying Li described the district’s early‑literacy work, noting that the district’s core elementary curriculum, Wonders, does not include sufficiently systematic, explicit phonics instruction according to the district’s review. Based on that finding, the district piloted two supplemental programs in kindergarten through second grade during the fall semester: UFLI Foundations (University of Florida Literacy Institute) and 95% Phonics Core.
