Making Spelling Stick: Explicit Planning and Instruction - Parramatta

Build your knowledge to plan and deliver explicit spelling instruction

What is this course about?

In this 2-day course we take participants through the journey of planning for explicit spelling instruction. Working closely with a SPELD NSW scope and sequence we model how to program for spelling instruction, giving participants lots of hands-on opportunities to plan and receive feedback. We consider spelling instruction based phonic patterns, orthographic conventions and morphology.

We then look at explicit instruction using model scripts that teachers can use and adapt in their own practice. We also consider assessment and how to implement spaced retrieval practice to support committing those words to Long Term Memory!

Why should I do this course?

If you are a Year 1-6 teacher seeking to understand how to plan, implement and assess explicit spelling instruction, this is the course for you!

Who should do this course?
