The SPELD NSW Spelling Series

Double or Nothing: The doubling rule

To double or not to double. Now that’s an interesting question. In this course, we show you how to teach the doubling rules when adding a vowel suffix in a really simple way. We will look at how we can make this less overwhelming for students and set them up for success! Then we extend that to look at 2 syllable words and clarify how to teach this rule for those more complicated words!

  • This series of online courses is perfect for teachers, interventionists and speech pathologists looking to develop their own spelling content knowledge and learn some explicit instruction routines to confidently teach students to become fluent writers!

  • In this series, we will learn about clever planning tricks, key spelling rules, orthographic patterns, morphology, and instructional routines that will make teaching spelling simple yet effective!
