High Frequency Word Instruction: A Fresh Perspective

Do you feel unequipped instructing students in the spelling of words like does, they, and any? Have you been told those are “irregular” words that just have to be memorized or aren’t even addressed in your current curriculum? We can and should explore grapheme choice within the context of meaning (morphology), history (etymology), and grammar (syntax).

This interactive session aims to deepen participants’ understanding of English spelling beyond phonology (sound). Your students will apply logic, rather than rote memorization, when tackling orthographically complex words.

The presenter will not only provide explanations but also demonstrate the use of instructional routines and resources. Participants will receive links to documents to print out resources shared for immediate implementation.
