Thursday, April 18, 2024.  Webinar:  What a Difference a Morpheme Can Make!  Our speaker, NANCY CUSHEN WHITE, ED.D. While basic knowledge of phoneme-grapheme relationships may be sufficient for spelling, reading, and comprehending one-syllable words, analysis of word structure—including knowledge of morphology and etymology—is needed to learn to spell, read, and comprehend multisyllable words. Explicit instruction in spelling that integrates phonology, orthography morphology, and etymology is also effective for teaching word identification, vocabulary, content knowledge, and reading comprehension. To register, link here: https://tinyurl.com/47aw2r8b  — Webinar starts at 6:00 pm – not 8 pm.  Sorry for the error.

Tuesday, May 14, 2024.  Webinar: How to Teach Spelling Using Structured Literacy Strategies. SPEAKER: KELLI SANDMAN-HURLEY. Have you ever caught yourself saying (or thinking) ‘English is crazy’ or we just have to memorize that word? Are there certain spelling patterns your students find particularly difficult to remember? If so, this webinar will demonstrate how to use structured literacy strategies to teach spelling. Participants will learn how to use the English language as their data bank and use that data to help students identify patterns, rules and maybe a few exceptions. Practical activities will be shared so that you can incorporate them into your teaching right away. To log in for registration, click on https://tinyurl.com/5ynj7rvh
