Both days will be driven by the participants questions and both will have investigations teachers will engage in, but there will be more time for digging into activities on Day 2 with the basics in place. The basic story will be something like this:
Day 1:
- A general introduction to the big picture of English orthography and SWI
- Working with word morphological and etymological word families
- Making sense the interrelation of morphology, etymology and phonology by working with matrices, word sums (spelling-out-loud and writing-out-loud), grapheme-phoneme correspondents and synchronic and diachronic etymology
- How to draw on SWI in the process of reading instruction, and to deepen understanding of key concepts and terms in any subject area.
- Brief description of the research
Day 2:
- A revisiting of the key concepts of Day 1, but now with much more time for activities.
- More time for activities
- much more time for the details of "writing-out-loud" and "spelling-out-loud", bigger investigations
- more time learning how to work with Etymonline to inform SWI investigations
- more practice on grapheme-phoneme-correspondences and the interrelation with morphology and phonology
- a more detailed account of the research
