Shannon describes some new ways she's helping her older elementary students learn how to encode and spell.   Mary shares the S.O.S strategy for Spelling and explains the research about encoding and the brain processing that happens as students make spelling choices.

Note: The S.O.S. strategy is typically included with all Orton-Gillingham training organizations and isn't just attributed exclusively to IMSE.   We appreciate Emily Gibbons from The Literacy Nest for this clarification. Also, we incorrectly stated that she had trained with IMSE, which was said in error.  She first trained with IMSLEC  (MA General Hospital O-G Training Curriculum) and then AOG (Academy of Orton-Gillingham).   You can learn more about her and the incredible work she does with multi-sensory resources and instruction at her website:  The Literacy Nest.
