Spelling knowledge is critical for strong text-level writing, but how do we know that our instruction is explicit and evidence-informed? This episode of the structured literacy podcast reviews key characteristics for explicit instructions and shares reasons that some common practices might not be as explicit as first thought.
Take-aways from this episode include:
- Transform spelling instruction to help every student excel
- Break down explicit spelling instruction into declarative, procedural, and conditional knowledge
- Integrate phonics, orthography, and morphology for comprehensive word knowledge
- Use explicit teaching strategies to reduce cognitive load
- Ensure adequate opportunities for practice and review to ensure long-term learning
- Ensure no student is left behind by breaking content into manageable chunks
- Explicit methods often outperform analytical approaches, especially for at-risk students.
While evidence-informed programs are seen in many schools, this doesn't make adopting evidence-informed practices effortless or stress-free. The Reading Success in the Early Primary Years Teach Along will give you the confidence to make nuanced decisions about early reading instruction, regardless of the program your school uses, and get the best outcome for every student.
