Virtual Workshop: The Science of Spelling

$29.00

Spelling is a powerful tool for improving reading and writing.

Most phonics-based intervention programs underemphasize spelling, but decades of research show that when spelling is taught well, students don’t just become better spellers—they also become stronger readers.

In this workshop, you’ll learn exactly how to make that happen in your classroom.

What You’ll Learn

  • The research on spelling interventions

  • How phonemic, orthographic, morphemic, and whole-word approaches each affect outcomes

  • Practical routines for embedding spelling into small groups, interventions, and whole-class instruction

  • Which rules matter (and which to ditch)

What’s Included

  • 2 hour live virtual session (with Q&A)

  • Recording + materials (so you can revisit anytime)

  • Certificate for 2 PD hours (ALTA-approved)

  • Research-based routines you can use tomorrow

Who It’s For

  • Reading specialists & interventionists

  • Special educators

  • Classroom teachers supporting struggling readers

  • Literacy leaders looking to strengthen Tier 2/3 practices
