Good resource that also supports the development of PD. One thing that I wanted to point out is that the Alphabetic Principle shown in this document (and from many excellent scholars like Heidi Anne Mesmer) is different than the term ‘Alphabetic Knowledge’ used in the Ontario Curriculum. Alphabetic Principle encompasses phonics, while Alphabetic Knowledge in our curriculum means: ‘Knowledge of the letters of the alphabet by name and an understanding of alphabetic order.’ This is confusing for many.
