Episode Details

In this episode of the Structured Literacy Podcast, I discuss how English words can seem confusing. Still, they are largely logical when we understand four key areas: phonics, orthography, morphology, and etymology. The truth is that spelling needs to be explicitly taught, just like reading. The challenge is finding a way to do that while building our knowledge of how words work. The full transcript can be found on the website www.jocelynseamereducation.com
