SLM Teaching Spelling

Structured Literacy Modules are a set of modules that discuss the components of evidence-based structured literacy instruction. The modules provide an in-depth explanation of the ways research, grounded in the science of reading, informs structured literacy, why the components of structured literacy are necessary for developing skilled readers, and how these components can be practically applied during direct instruction.

In the “Teaching Spelling” module, participants:

• the characteristics of children's spelling as they gain proficiency in literacy skills
• the foundational skills necessary to spelling
• the reliable patterns and rules of spelling the English language
• strategies for spelling irregular words
• effective strategies for teaching spelling
• how to assess student spelling efforts to provide diagnostic, prescriptive, and differentiated instruction

Audience:

• Students pursuing degrees in education as part of their school coursework
• Administrators or school leaders needing to build background knowledge on literacy
• Those preparing to take a reading certification exam
• Any educator needing to build background knowledge on the topic

If CEUs are needed, a separate paid version (Structured Literacy Modules for CEU Credit) is available on the Neuhaus store.
