This lively two-day course enables participants to teach students how to spell using their critical thinking skills while developing a lifelong understanding of spelling clues and conventions. This “structured word inquiry” approach eliminates rote memorization and explores the revealing linguistic aspects that teachers often wish they had learned in college. Instructor Pete Bowers shares this engaging approach to spelling instruction and effortlessly explains how English spelling is actually a well-ordered system that does make sense and provides clues to meaning for students of any age. It’s an ideal complement to any reading or spelling program, including dyslexia remediation and multisensory structured language education approaches.
It will be a day of active participation which explores the conventions that govern English Spelling. Included in the workshop:
· An 80+ page teacher resource book filled with lesson plans, activities and tools for application of the “structured word inquiry” designed to help teachers and students make sense of English Spelling
· Practice working with teaching tools like the REAL SPELLING Word Matrix (Ramsden 2001) and word sums
· Study video clips of instruction
· Morning Coffee and Lunch
