Literacy Knot

Incorporating elements of Scarborough’s Rope, the Literacy Knot helps educators visualize the full scope of reading and writing. When all elements of literacy are taught with explicit, multisensory instruction, students simultaneously develop reading and writing skills at a deeper level.

Brainspring offers educational classes for teachers, tutors, and parents that include Literacy Knot concepts and how they relate to the field of literacy. Instruction emphasizes and incorporates the essential learning relationship of reading and writing skills. For an introduction, take a Level I Phonics First or Structures course; for a more detailed examination, take Level II; and, to see how handwriting fits into these literacy skills, take Handwriting: Lessons for Print.
