Using the topic Resources and your own research, create a chart, flow chart, or infographic that focuses on the levels of phonological awareness and the age/grade range where students typically demonstrate the milestone skills. For each level, address the following:

Name and brief explanation of the level

Examples that illustrate the milestone skills typically exhibited at that level

Age/grade range where students typically demonstrate the milestone skills

• Indicators that a student may be struggling with this level
• Assessments that can be used to determine whether a student is working toward meeting the milestone skills
• Add the chart, flow chart, or infographic to your Reading Toolkit.
• In a 250-500 word reflection, discuss the following:
• Why it is important for special education teachers to have a thorough understanding of the Science of Reading, Scarborough’s Reading Rope, and the levels of phonological awareness, even though direct reading instruction may not be your primary support role?

How this knowledge can help teachers meet the needs of all readers in their classrooms.

Support your ideas with research-based evidence and examples from your own professional experience.
