EBLI Evidence-Based Literacy Instruction

EBLI   Evidence-Based Literacy Instruction

Share

Educators are trained in EBLI and then provide instruction to all grade levels of students in schools and literacy programs across the country.

Empowering educators to teach learners of all ages to read, write and spell with a systematic, speech-to-print approach that unlocks their full reading potential. Meet the EBLI Founder: https://eblireads.com/meet-the-ebli-founder/

EBLI is a system of research-based literacy skills, concepts, and strategies that teaches learners of any age or ability level to read, spell, and write to their highest potential. EBLI 1 on 1 instruction for students of all ages is provided at Ounce of Prevention Reading Center in Flushing, MI.

What does alphabet instruction look like when it feels clear, active, and natural?

In this real lesson, Nora works with a preschooler on the formation A - Z. Notice the pace, the interaction, and how the child stays involved instead of simply watching or repeating.

If you teach young learners, this is a practical look at how small teaching moves can keep early literacy engaging.

What if learning a new way to teach reading didn't mean waiting to put it into practice?

With EBLI, educators learn while they teach.

Through online training, ready-to-use lessons, video guidance, and ongoing support, teachers can build their skills while helping students strengthen their reading, spelling, and writing.

Whether you're teaching a classroom or providing one-on-one intervention, EBLI offers training designed to support both educators and learners.

She had spent years in reading intervention. By second grade, she was still reading below a first-grade level and felt discouraged.

Then EBLI-trained teacher Kelly Johnson began tutoring her virtually for one hour a week.

A few months later, the student reached the third-grade benchmark. Now she reads stories filled with challenging multisyllable words and, as Kelly says, “conquers them like a champ.”

That is more than a new score. It is confidence returning.

November is here, and so are the small reading moments that often matter most.

A story before bed. A child asking what a new word means. A teacher making time for one more page because everyone wants to know what happens next.

National Family Literacy Month is a good reminder that reading does not have to feel like an event. It can simply become part of the day.

What reading ritual will your family or classroom keep this month?

Some words wear a costume.

Try these Halloween words:

Ghost
Witch
Fright
Treat

They may look tricky, but guessing isn’t the goal. Say the word. Listen for each sound. Then connect those sounds to the spellings you see.

Which Halloween word would you add to the list?

Happy Halloween from EBLI!

Literacy success for every student isn’t optional.

On Friday, November 6, literacy leaders will gather in Buffalo for the inaugural All Means ALL! Conference. The day will connect research, classroom practice, and systems-level leadership around one goal: helping every student learn to read.

EBLI founder Nora Chahbazi will join the closing panel alongside literacy and dyslexia leaders.

Seating is limited. View the details and register:

Knowing the rules isn’t the same as reading automatically.

In an EBLI guest blog, literacy specialist Viki Stein shares the story of a bright learner who could repeat phonics rules but still couldn’t read fluently. The knowledge was there, but it wasn’t transferring to connected reading.

Her story raises an important question: Is instruction helping learners use what they know while they read and write?

Comparing literacy approaches becomes useful when we look beyond labels and into daily instruction.

EBLI begins with spoken words learners already know. Learners map sounds to spellings, practice reading and writing together, work with authentic text early, and build flexible sound-spelling knowledge without carrying a long list of rules.

That’s what speech-to-print can look like in practice.

Helping at home shouldn’t feel like starting a second school day.

EBLI’s interactive apps give families a clear way to reinforce literacy skills through focused practice:

• EBLI Island, ages 3+: blending, segmenting, handwriting, and early reading
• EBLI Space, first grade+: sound-spelling knowledge, high-frequency words, and multisyllable words
• Sight Words Made Easy, second grade+: high-frequency words, homophones, and sentence writing

Different starting points. One shared goal: helping literacy skills become more accurate and automatic.

Readers have a way of finding five quiet minutes anywhere: the pickup line, a lunch break, a waiting room, or long after everyone else is asleep.
