EBLI Teacher Training and Student Lessons (ETSL) K-5 Classroom

Teachers are equipped to streamline their classroom literacy instruction with the comprehensive, revolutionary, research-aligned EBLI teacher training and student lessons (ETSL) that include explicit student instruction in the 5 essential components of reading, handwriting, spelling, and writing.

The EBLI system of instruction is agnostic and can be used with any reading program as well as across the curriculum in all subject areas requiring reading and writing.

Help Students Reach Their
Highest Literacy Potential

Students in a classroom possess a varied level of literacy skills and abilities. EBLI provides teachers with training and student instruction tools that help them level the playing field, assisting all students to reach their highest literacy potential.

The comprehensive, explicit EBLI delivery system includes embedded support for teachers so they can easily differentiate instruction as they deliver whole class lessons and small group guided practice and reinforcement.

Simplified Learning

EBLI’s speech first/Say, Spell, Read approach for decoding provides students with a highly effective process and system of logic that enables them to apply the concepts, skills, and information taught to automatically and accurately read, write, and spell not only within the lessons but across the curriculum, decreasing the need for additional, supplemental literacy programs and strategies.

Integrated Instruction

Each of the EBLI activities taught to students include explicit instruction and practice of several of many components of literacy at once, increasing effectiveness and efficiency of lessons taught. This allows teachers to capitalize on their expertise while delivering EBLI’s streamlined, comprehensive system to increase literacy proficiency for all students and close the gap quickly for those students who have fallen behind.

Accelerated Pace

Phonics instruction that begins with speech is a key component of EBLI and greatly accelerates student acquisition of reading and spelling. The alphabetic code is taught explicitly without phonics rules or syllable types, in the context of a word as opposed to in isolation, and with students immediately applying what was learned through reading in text and writing.

Last year, all of my students were at a middle to late second grade reading level at the end of first grade (in a Covid year). I see their knowledge of the different spelling patterns that spell a sound transfer to their spelling during writing time. My teaching is more efficient and effective. I can't imagine a time when I wouldn't use EBLI in my teaching!"

When you’re learning the system, you have the ETSL videos and that is so helpful. I’m learning along with the students, so I’m seeing how Nora does it, and how the kids aredoing it, and it all falls into place. When you hit lesson 30 or 35, there are no more videos, so you take over. The best way to get good at EBLI is to do EBLI.

Alicyn Crawley 2nd Grade Teacher

There are no gimmicks involved, I don’t need to show you two videos. I don’t need to do stupid motions, and show you pictures, I don’t need to waste my money on sight word cards. It’s so easy, and so intense and exact. It freed up a lot of my time during the day. So I can teach science more, I can dig deeper in math, and the kids love it. Today’s lesson took us 45 minutes because it was sort of new, and they weren’t wiggly or squirmy. it’s just so simple and so easy and you don’t need a lot of stuff to do it. You need a white board and a dry erase marker and you’re good to go.

Julie VanLier Kindergarten Teacher

They are excited to get their EBLI supplies out, and the excitement for reading in general has improved. Like I said, for writing, I don’t get students who tell me, ‘I don’t know how to spell so I can’t write.’ We’re working on our writing stamina, but the kids are more willing to try

Ruth Hernandez 3rd Grade Teacher

I’ve been a teacher for 17 years, and I’ve never enjoyed parent-teacher conferences this much. It was so fun to talk about the growth kids are making and celebrate successes with parents. They’re saying things like, ‘whatever you are doing this year, it's great,’ or ‘she is a completely different kid from kindergarten,’ or ‘that thing you are doing with the sounds is really working,’ or ‘before 1st grade, reading caused tears. Now he wants to pick up a book on his own.’ My hope was that EBLI would work by the end of the year, never did I think I would have this much progress in just 9 weeks.

Holly Mueller Former 1st Grade Teacher, now 2nd Grade

I love that EBLI eliminates all the unnecessary extras that I used to worry about trying to teach. It is just extremely streamlined.

What Sets EBLI Apart

Comprehensive Student Lessons Aligned with Science of Reading

EBLI instruction is based on the most recent research on how the brain learns to read, providing a bridge from the science to instruction with students in the classroom. The delivery of the skills, concepts, and information taught in the EBLI system is continuously refined based on teacher feedback, coaching experiences in classrooms, student gains, and evolving research.

EBLI for K-5 Classroom Teachers

Teacher Learning
Immediately Applied
to Student Instruction

The ETSL evergreen system is set up for teachers to learn the what and why of each EBLI activity, including a video of the activity being taught in a classroom, so they can see the process in action. Next, they are provided with what they need for their own students to be explicitly taught the activity via a student instruction lesson.

Whole Class
Student Instruction
Videos

Teachers rave about the revolutionary student lesson videos in ETSL that provide the initial EBLI instruction to the students, introducing each activity via whole class instruction while teachers facilitate, support, and correct errors. This reduces the cognitive load on teachers as they are learning EBLI and provides students with a strong foundation in the EBLI processes and learning practices.

Frees Up
Teacher Planning and
Instructional Time

Every step that is taught in every EBLI activity has a purpose so there is no wasted instructional time. With ETSL, the planning is done and materials are provided for teachers so they can focus less on preparation and more on their students. The goal is to make teachers’ lives easier as they facilitate the accurate, automatic, and independent reading and writing skills of their students.
