Listen Later

What if you could transform your spelling lessons from monotonous drills to engaging, multi-dimensional learning experiences? This week on the Structured Literacy Podcast, we promise you'll discover how to make spelling instruction both explicit and exciting. Jocelyn shatters the myth that structured teaching is synonymous with dull repetition. By integrating phonics, orthography, morphology, and etymology, you'll learn to teach your students not just to spell, but to understand the very fabric of words.

This episode delivers clear, actionable strategies for teachers in grades three to six. Learn how to maintain a singular focus during lessons, ensure comprehensive practice, and provide meaningful applications in texts. We also spotlight the significance of building declarative knowledge—teaching students to grasp the principles of prefixes, suffixes, and word structure. Finally, Jocelyn addresses the common concern that this method might be too rigid, emphasizing that your enthusiasm and flexibility are key to making spelling instruction both effective and enjoyable. Don't miss this opportunity to supercharge your teaching methods and captivate your students!
