Word Origins is an exciting, explicit year 3 to 6 spelling and word study program, designed to follow any high-quality early primary phonics program. The daily lessons focus on multiple layers of word knowledge, including orthography, morphology, semantics and etymology.
This full-day workshop will introduce the design, scope and sequence, and materials utilised in the program and participants will gain an understanding of the structure and delivery of the detailed lesson plans, including daily reviews. The interpretation of assessment data, and the use of program resources will also be explored.
The workshop is aimed at teachers of students in mid/upper primary school (including whole-class and remediation settings), and other professionals interested in delivering a comprehensive, evidence-informed spelling and word study program.
