Spelling for Life Live Workshop (PD415) – Now closed

Registration has now closed. You can do our online version or you could check out our forthcoming Reading for Life live workshop on August 28. Lockdown has scuppered my plans to be in beautiful Cairns on August 5th and 6th (it’s postponed and can be registered for here), so I’ve decided to use the time that I would have been there to throw a live event via Zoom. I’ve done dozens of these for schools that I couldn’t go to, and the feedback has been spectacular. So if you’d like to do this live PD without the uncertainty of lockdowns, without the hassle of travel and parking, but filled to the brim with useful strategies and understanding of spelling, do come along. It’s being held on a Saturday so that teachers can attend without having to get replacements. It’s being held at an Australia-friendly time to help us cope with the pressures of lockdown. The recording will NOT be available afterwards. This is a one-off live event. If asynchronous is what you like, just sign up for the online course. WHEN: Saturday August 7th 9:30am – 3pm WHERE: ZOOM! We will send you a link when you register WHAT: You’ll get into a Zoom room with Lyn Stone and we will cover:

• Orthographic mapping
• Rule breakers
• Vowels and consonants
• The Letter Y
• Syllables
• Schwa
• Doubling
• Morphology
• All your questions re tricky words and spelling patterns
• A guide to our K-6 Spelling and Handwriting scope and sequence document

You’ll also get links to:

• Optional pre-workshop videos on broken rules, Final Silent E and the Letter Y
• A downloadable handout with printable worksheets to keep forever

COMPETITION: One lucky registrant will go in the draw to win a signed copy of the second edition of Spelling for Life (released August 16th 2021). PLEASE NOTE: We offer a 10% discount for school teams of over 5 people. Please contact us to enquire.
