Presented by James Ferguson
This practical, hands-on workshop will focus on explicitly teaching children how to make word choices when they go to write and address the spelling skills linked as such.
We will examine the literacy demands of different text types including structure and language features, and linking the explicit teaching of spelling to the explicit teaching of writing.
Session outline:
- Key elements of teaching skills
- Four spelling knowledges: Phonological, Visual, Morphemic and Etymological
- The development of each
- High frequency words
- Linking spelling to writing and grammar
- Spelling generalisations
- Resources for checking spelling
- Explicitly teaching children how to make word choices when writing
- Benchmarking and assessing children’s writing – incorporating spelling
- Grouping words effectively to teach spelling knowledge
