Teaching spelling meaningfully at Years 5-9 – Northcote
May 3, 2018 @ 9:30 am - 12:00 pm
$130Much of our spelling instruction at the older year levels is about rote memorisation of spelling and vocabulary lists. This doesn’t support students to spell unfamiliar words or to comprehend unknown words. This workshop will instead show teachers how ‘word study’ – a process for teaching students about the different elements of words, such as prefixes, suffixes, syllables and vowel blends – can have a powerful impact on students – improving now only their spelling ability, but also their composition and comprehension skills.
