spelling screener
July 17, 2024

Hi there,

Over the years, I've spent many hours in early years classrooms working with teachers working hard to deliver effective synthetic phonics instruction.

From my perspective, the best teachers of synthetic phonics all share a common trait: attention to detail and adherence to fidelity.

Expert teachers who understand the importance of fidelity of practice have a huge advantage over teachers who tend to go off script when teaching phonics.

A new Sound to Print Screener has been launched today. Remember, these screeners are only available to subscribers of the language dispatch.

Be sure to access the sound-to-print-reading-screeners page to download the new spelling screener for 7-8 year old children.

The screener has separate sections for basic and advanced code knowledge to enable you to quickly and effectively hone in on a child's area of spelling difficulty.

Speechlanguage-Resources will continue to provide up to date information to parents, teachers and speech pathologists with a focus on the science and art of literacy assessment and instruction.

Best regards

David

The speechlanguage-resources team
