Johnny Can Spell Workshops
Workshop Summary
Systematic, explicit phonics with penmanship and spelling?
Linking oral and written language skills at the time of acquisition is stressed throughout the presentation of subject matter in order to assure successful integrated performance in all four language modes: speaking, listening, reading, writing. Participants will be equipped with multiple models of instructional strategies, such as, multi-sensory practice, guided practice, think aloud, choral work, layering, classifying and sorting, and the appropriate sequence and pace of instruction.
In the Johnny Can Spell workshop, participants will closely examine the graphemes and phonemes of English, instructional strategies for penmanship and explicit phonics instruction, instructional strategies to teach how to sound out a word, review of a scope and sequence that links phonics, penmanship and spelling in integrated lessons, and a host of practical tips for a language teacher.
