Synopsis:
Exploring Spelling Meaningfully
Join specialist teacher and author Louise Selby as she explores how morphology—understanding prefixes, suffixes and root words—can make spelling more meaningful and effective for all learners, especially those with dyslexia.
Drawing from her book Morph Mastery, Louise will share why this approach works, how it supports reading and vocabulary development, and practical strategies you can start using immediately in your classroom or at home. This session is ideal for educators, parents and anyone supporting learners with literacy difficulties.
