 Title: From Irregular to Interesting: Looking Beyond Phonology to Explain the Spelling of Words
 Abstract: Have you ever wondered about the spelling of words like <does>, <of>, and <where>? Have you been told those are “irregular” words that just have to be memorized? This interactive session aims to deepen participants’ understanding of English spelling beyond phonology (sound). We can, and should explore grapheme choice within the context of meaning (morphology), history (etymology), and grammar (syntax). The presenter will not only provide explanations but also demonstrate the use of instructional routines and resources to help participants continue the work after the session.
