Discover a smarter spelling and word study program

Join literacy experts Louisa Moats, EdD, and Bruce Rosow, EdD, co-authors of Spellography , as they guide educators through the layers of the English language and how they are represented in the English spelling system. This engaging and informative webinar will explores how a structured, research-based approach to word study can transform literacy instruction and improve student outcomes.

Through the lens of Spellography , a classroom-tested program, viewers will learn how these layers of language, phonology, orthography, morphology, and syntax, work together to support reading and writing development. Discover how explicit spelling instruction unlocks deeper understanding and empowers students to become more confident readers and writers.

Key Highlights:

  • Rediscover the layers of language for practical word study: phonology, sound-spelling associations, syllable patterns, morphology, syntax, and parts of speech.
  • Learn how Spellography integrates these layers into a structured language approach that supports all learners.
  • Explore research-based practices that encourage students to become spelling detectives who look for clues to make informed spelling choices.
  • Gain tools to help students make sense of the English spelling system, improving their reading and writing skills.
  • See how explicit spelling instruction can lead to immediate and measurable improvements in student outcomes.
