The manual is a printed 263 page, coil bound resource. You can ask me questions by typing them under the videos in the course and I'll answer for you - as quickly as I can! You can also read other people's questions and my answers too! You will have a month of access from the time of purchase. There are 14 lessons on video that take a whole school day (around 5 hours) to complete by the time you reflect or discuss after each video. The online course has pre-recorded video so you can do it at any time that suits you. You’ll be really well supported by 48 pages of notes. I'll show you how to deliver both explicit lessons and how to give meaningful feedback to students at the point of need, when they're writing. It's the same course, full of practical content that covers what to actually do in your classroom. You have the choice to complete it online or face-to-face. The SMART Spelling course takes the equivalent of a whole school day to complete. You have the choice of the online or face-to-face package. Teachers feel confident in their content knowledge and know that SMART Spelling fits into a busy classroom. Teachers use their strong professional knowledge they gain in the course to give meaningful feedback to students about their spelling in writing, teaching at the point of need. Students are then guided to choose from that list, to meet different needs. We teach in patterns as much as possible, so teachers choose a range of words (from simple to complex) from a suggested list in the manual. SMART Spelling incorporates both the systematic teaching of spelling each week and also personal words. Let me show you a simple routine to teach spelling. There's a Foundation – 6 scope and sequence and a comprehensive 263 page coil bound manual, that has words broken up for you! We start by teaching the meaning of words to expand vocabulary and then break words into syllables, sounds and letter patterns (graphs, digraphs and trigraphs). Yes.really! The words 'love' and 'spelling' in the same sentence! You'll love such a sensible way to teach spelling. With many years of further study and research at Melbourne Uni, SMART Spelling was developed and released to everyone in 2015! It's now used (and loved) by thousands of teachers, all across Australia, who are thrilled with the depth of knowledge they and their students develop using the SMART approach. In fact, I used to feel nervous about teaching spelling. I developed SMART Spelling because it wasn't always this way.I was a frustrated primary teacher who didn't understand spelling well. Hi! I'm Michelle Hutchison and I LOVE teaching spelling!
