A multi-tiered system of support for teaching the components of spelling in years 3 to 6

A twilight workshop with Dr Tessa Daffern

An evidence-based approach

In this workshop, Dr Daffern introduces you to a high-quality, multi-tiered system of support for teaching the components of spelling in Years 3 to 6. Drawing on her extensive spelling research and teaching experiences, Dr Daffern will share some examples of assessing and teaching the components of spelling using a data-informed, explicit and structured approach. This includes providing opportunities for students to apply taught spelling skills in a range of writing contexts.

Content includes:

• Why instruction and learning in spelling is important.
• Key features of a quality, multi-tiered system of support for spelling instruction.
• Using valid and reliable spelling assessment data to inform a multi-tiered approach.
• Teaching the phonological component of spelling.
