This workshop examines the rationales and theories underpinning the teaching of phonics, spelling, and vocabulary in an authentic literacy classroom for grades 3-8. You will investigate essential categories of learning and consider ways in which word study fits into a broader language and literacy framework. You will analyze teaching and engage in inquiry that will deepen your understanding of how words work and serve as a set of instructional practices for effective teaching of a range of students. You will then be introduced to a planning document of planning word study curriculum for grades 3-8 that can be used back in your district.

Objectives

Participants will:

  • Explore the rationales for the importance of instruction in vocabulary, spelling, and word analysis skills in the intermediate grades and middle school.
  • Understand the relationship between phonics, spelling, and vocabulary, and how students develop competencies over time.
  • Build knowledge of how to provide explicit inquiry-based instruction that helps all students, including those who are learning the English language, develop essential understandings of how words work.
  • Learn how to teach for word knowledge in whole group, small group, and individual instructional settings.

Who should attend?

Teachers in grades 3-8, Literacy Coaches, Reading Specialists, Curriculum Directors, Principals

  • The Literacy Continuum by Fountas and Pinnell
