  • Phonics Based Approach

    Teachers would start to teach students about how to sound out words and how to spell them correctly. This was truly implemented in the 1990's, but teachers have been developing this strategy through the 1800's and 1900's with the most focus being 1920. Johnston, R. S. (1998).

  • Digital Literacy In Classrooms

    The implementation of digital literacy in the classroom has shown to be very beneficial for students.
