S1 E23 - How do I tackle Spelling in the Early Years?

In this episode, I'm going to share some key findings from theory and research when it comes to spelling, evaluate a common practice in spelling instruction, and then go on to suggest instructional practices that are a more efficient and effective alternative based on the research on my own experience as a teacher, school leader, and tutor of students with a learning difficulty. You can find a reference list for this episode at the bottom of the show notes at www.jocelynseamereducation.com. Look for the podcast and blog tab.
