The Secrets to Teaching Phonics

Welcome!

As teachers, we must understand the content we are teaching. That means gaining an in-depth understanding of the structure and logic of English words. Why are words spelled the way they are spelled? In this course, you will learn a research-based approach to teaching phonics that solves the mystery and that shows the spelling of English words is 95% predictable. You will learn:

- - The structural layers of words
  - How historical influences affect spelling
  - The letters and letter combinations that represent the speech sounds
  - The “Real Rules” of English, a set of principles that tell us how words are constructed

Understanding these concepts will enable you to teach the language in a way that brings exceptional results.

Upon completion of this course, you will receive 20 Continuing Education Units.

You will need the book, The Secrets to Teaching Phonics. Read each chapter that corresponds with the Workshop.
