Brownieland partnered with The Atlanta Speech School to create impactful eLearning videos for the Rollins Center for Language and Literacy’s Cox Campus. Recently, Rollins launched the updated Emergent Literacy course, along with enhancements to their Early Literacy course. These improvements aim to help teachers optimize instructional time and ensure that all children, from preschool through elementary grades, are on the path to becoming proficient readers. Diane Simpson, eLearning Content Specialist at the Rollins Center for Language and Literacy, shares her insights on the new course available on Cox Campus!

We are thrilled to announce the new and improved Emergent Literacy course on Cox Campus, formally Foundations of Learning to Read.  At Rollins, we strive to stay current and in alignment with scientific consensus. With new research comes more insight into how children learn to read and what we, as teachers, can do to help them reach that goal. 

This new course addresses updates in: 

• Phonemic awareness 
• Phonological sensitivity 
• Alphabet knowledge 

Emergent Literacy supports teachers to maximize instructional time, and puts all children on the path to learning to read in preschool through elementary grades.”

The Atlanta Speech School is the nation’s most comprehensive language and literacy center. The Rollins Center extends the science-based instruction received by each child at the Atlanta Speech School to every child with the singular purpose of breaking the cycle of illiteracy. The Rollins team does this through facilitation, professional development and coaching in regional schools and on a global scale through its free online Cox Campus.
