Spellography™ Virtual Workshops
An introduction to Spellography: Providing students with the multimodal practice they need to become proficient spellers
Attend an upcoming workshop to learn more about seamlessly adding Spellography levels A/B or C/D to your reading and language arts curriculum. Using Spellography helps students in grades 4-12 understand the English spelling system and develop critical spelling skills, improving reading and writing outcomes.
The English spelling system has a reputation for being wildly unpredictable, but in reality, all but 4% of English words can be explained if we look at them through the Layers of Language.
Through phonology students determine the phonemes in words. The orthography layer supports phoneme-grapheme matching, understanding predicable letter sequences and syllable types. Morphology unlocks meaningful word parts and consequently positivity impacts vocabulary acquisition. Syntax addresses how 'parts of speech' are reflected in spelling.
Our 3-hour Spellography training, written by Dr. Louisa Moats and Dr. Bruce Rosow, supports teachers as they move from a traditional weekly spelling test to a multilinguist approach to spelling instruction. Attendees will learn how to explicitly and systematically teach students to spell using the Layers of Language by implementing Spellography Books A and B in their classrooms.
Educators will deepen their knowledge of these concepts and work through the Spellography routines that provide students with the multimodal practice they need to become proficient spellers.

This 3-hour workshop will get you started with Spellography and familiarize you with the program’s structure and content. We’ll teach you:
· How the lessons integrate the Layers of Language, including phonology, orthographic patterns and rules, morphology, word origin, syntax, and usage
· Instructional routines for phoneme awareness, word sorting, phoneme-grapheme matching, timed word reading, and dictation
· Exercises for identifying written syllable types, suffix addition rules, past tense and plural morphemes, and
· The instructional design principles used throughout Spellography.
Online resources that support the program will be shared throughout the session. You’ll also discover why Spellography is fun to teach, and you’ll be ready and eager to explore language with your students.
