You will love teaching spelling!
Yes, really...
The words 'love' and 'spelling' in the same sentence!
It wasn't always this way for me. I was a frustrated primary school teacher who didn't understand spelling well. I wanted to do better for my students.
After many years of further study and research when I was a lecturer at Melbourne Uni, SMART Spelling was developed. It was released to everyone in 2015 and is now used (and loved) by thousands of teachers, all across Australia.
It just makes so much sense.
Let me show you a weekly routine to teach spelling that is simple, easy and fun! We don't overcomplicate things. We teach the meaning of words to expand vocabulary and then break words into syllables, sounds and letter patterns (graphs, digraphs and trigraphs).
I'll also show you a powerful routine to give students meaningful feedback on spelling errors in their own writing. You'll love being able to explicitly teach individual students at their point of need.
