The SPELD NSW Spelling Series

Teaching Advanced Suffixes: ion and ure

Have you ever heard someone say that they have a favourite suffix? No! Well you have now! ‘ion’ and ‘ure’ are suffixes we love talking about because it allows us to delve into some more complex considerations when teaching spelling in year 3-6. Which words you are going to use and how you will help students remember these spellings is all part of the challenge and the fun!

  • 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.
