Course summary:
In order to ensure that pupils master the patterns, rules and exceptions in our language spelling needs to be taught in a systematic, effective and engaging way. This course will help teachers to achieve that.
The effective teaching of spelling involves the teaching of strategies and rules, rather than just lists of words. This training explores the use of a range of spelling strategies including:
- Ongoing application of phonics knowledge and skills
- Learning and applying rules
- Analogy
- Look, say, cover, write, check
- Using morphology
The training also emphasises the need to revisit and build on prior learning - a key aspect of the Ofsted Inspection framework.
Following the section on spelling strategies a possible teaching sequence is explored. The final part of the session focuses on marking and feedback and on assessment.
A range of practical ideas are threaded through the course with the aim of making the teaching of spelling both effective and fun.
