The SPELD NSW Spelling Series

Explicit Spelling Instruction: I do, we do, you do

In this course, we don’t focus so much on the ‘what’ but the ‘how’. We look at what a spelling lesson includes and how to be targeted and explicit in our instruction. We will discuss how to provide diminishing scaffolds and what independent ‘you do’ activities should look like.

  • 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 confidentially 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!

  • Register for 1, 2 or all of these online courses and complete the professional learning when and where it suits you!

Professional learning, when and where it suits you!

You can register to complete self-paced professional learning as an individual learner.
