LETRS Module 3: Spellography for Teachers: How English Spelling Works
November 9, 2021
Snow date: November 30, 2021
LETRS Module 3 explores the structure and history of English spelling from several angles: historical layers in English orthography; phoneme-grapheme correspondences; letter patterns in orthography; syllable types; orthographic rules; and meaningful word forms (morphemes). During this workshop we will also discuss instructional best practices for teaching differences between syllables and morphemes, "irregular" and "high-frequency words," phonics, spelling, and word study.
All participants must have completed LETRS Module 1 prior to this module.
