The Structured Literacy Podcast ·

2023/07/08

In today's episode, I'd like to discuss a very real situation in which so many of us feel immense pressure to teach spelling well but feel as if we don't have the knowledge to do so. Spelling knowledge has two aspects to consider: content and pedagogical. Learning English structure, phonemes, graphemes, and orthographic conventions is important. Teaching explicitly and determining the best instruction methods for spelling is also crucial. It's important to consider which concepts

We all know that learning is challenging. We teach our students a mantra - "we can do hard things." We aim for them to develop resilience, persistence, and the understanding that making mistakes is a natural part of learning. Being a good learner means accepting vulnerability and acknowledging that some days will be tougher.As educators, we must also cultivate an open-minded approach to learning to improve our teaching practice.

Reports are approaching if you are teaching in Australia, and if you were listening to this episode when it was released at the start of June 2023, you might be knee-deep in reporting. So this podcast episode is dedicated to all teachers working away writing their semester one reports and the leaders who are reading them. I've worn both hats, and I have to say that there were days when I thought that it was much easier to write reports than to read them. Today's episode is about how to

Today, I want to talk to you about an issue that has had me with a bee in my bonnet for a little while now, and that is the large amount of time that many children spend in independent silent reading during literacy instruction. Now my challenge with this is not that it is bad for children to read on their own; in fact, we know that there are positive impacts. Professor Pam Snow from La Trobe University often says that once children become proficient decoders, their independent reading has much to

2023/04/22

We all want teaching to be just that little bit simpler, but responding to the needs of students isn't a simple matter. When it comes to spelling, our decision making is further complicated by the fact that we probably weren't taught about how words really work at school or university. In this episode, I share some thoughts on the role of morphology instruction in support our students (and us) to build knowledge of spelling as well as some suggestions of what it might look like in the
