Coutney! I am so happy to have found you! I was so lost on how to teach my dyslexic students how to spell. I am a Wilson Reading System practitioner but I honestly need additional methods, techniques and lessons to help my first and second grade kids! You are a GODSEND!!!! I have been teaching since 1984 (I'm old...LOL!). I live in Montville, NJ where I have my own Wilson reading tutoring home classroom. I also own a preschool (since 1996) and have incorporated Fundations into my pre-K and kindergarten classrooms. I love Fundations, however, I do feel I need more strategies, so I have incorporated Eye and Heart Words. Thanks to your videos, I will also be ditching the infamous Word Walls! My students have made so many incredible gains in reading but I am failing them in learning to spell. After a few Google and CZcams searches, I found your videos! I am so hopeful now and cannot wait to implement the research you have broken down for. us as well as your suggestions on good spelling programs! THANK YOU so much!!!!! XOXOXO
I'm Jeannie Filipina and currently in Australia and found your video of wanting to learn how to teach my 10 yr old daughter to easily learn how to spell English words. Thanks for your help.
That’s so exciting! Welcome to my channel! My goal is to get more videos out this year! Thanks for joining this community!
Homeschooling mom here (former 4th grade teacher). Love your content. Very helpful! I have two children performing at different ends of the spectrum and I cannot tell you how much I would change if I went back into the classroom. You mention so many techniques that I think (now) are so important for some students. Thank you for helping others find effective methods to help the next generation. I’m especially interested in content that would help educate a school board and curriculum facilitator on the science of reading. Balanced literature failed my child greatly and I would love to hear your thoughts on specific curriculums that may help bridge the gap for struggling readers. Our homeschooling curriculum has worked wonders on my struggling child, but it would helpful to offer suggestions to our district so other kids aren’t “left behind”
Hi there! Thank you for your very kind comment! I am sorry to hear that your son’s experience in school was not fruitful. I would love to help school boards and facilitators one day! For now, I’m hoping by sharing research, I can help from the ground up. When it comes to different curriculum resources, I wish I had even the slightest idea about which ones are the best. I think it is important to think of curriculum resources as products and like any product, they rely heavily on marketing and appealing to a buyer. This is of course not to say that we don’t need good resources-we definitely do! However, I think our greatest resource is our desire to help our students. Any resource is only as good as the teacher using it and from what I’ve seen, you could give a teacher some dirt and sticks and they will find a way to teach every single subject. Teachers are so thirsty for information and my hope is that by offering research in an accessible way, we shift from being treated like passive consumers to empowered professionals. Have a lovely evening!
This was excellent, thank you! I am a homeschooling mom who is trying to use best-practices for effective instruction and this video made me feeling really good about the spelling curriculum that I chose for this year and the importance of teaching spelling (when I know that many homeschools and even public schools have stopped explicit instruction. The curriculum we started with last year (and dropped) used did group words in an effective way, but they used highly ineffective assignments (that never even included all of the words) for practice. I know we have spellcheck now, but I believe that being a good speller really does improve a person’s confidence and makes all other subjects easier. Thank you for this video.
Thank you so much for your kind comment! Could you let us know what program you decided to use? I think there are some in the comments that would love some direction!
We are using Traditional Spelling from Memoria Press. Memoria Press is a Christian company, but this particular curriculum isn’t religious.
@@maggiepanning356 thank you for sharing and for the disclaimer!!
Hi Courtney!
My name is Trista and I am a pursuing my doctorate in Curriculum Design and Instruction. I am currently evaluating best writing practices, and including your video in my study.
Hi Trista! Your study sounds fascinating! Thank you so much for including this video in your work! Do you have access to the original study so you can cite that as well? If not, let me know so I can send it your way. When you’re done your study (or even a part of it as the dissertation process can take forever!), I’d love to read your work!
Thank you so much! you have no idea how much this techniques have helped me to find a way to teach my students!
For some reason I didn’t get notified if your comment until now! I’m sorry about that! Thank you for your kind words! I really appreciate it!
I'd love to see an example of interactive writing with a student. Thank you for the information.
Hi Courtney ! You make great videos! I am a reading specialist in grades 4 and 5. Thanks for all you do!
It’s nice to get to meet you, David! That is fantastic that you are a reading specialist! Did you notice changes in your students’ reading abilities after you implemented findings from your specialist? What inspired you to look deeper into literacy? Have a lovely day!
@@courtneyannephd2618 always been focused on literacy . Was a grade 1,3,4, and 5 teacher over the years... been a reading specialist only the last five and still so much to learn . Was trained in balanced literacy approach but became woke/ enlightened not long ago to the science of reading. My district is beginning the journey of changing to more structured literacy approaches but it will be a years long progression.( in Massachusetts).
Hi, I'm Christelle Papenfus from South Africa. I came across your video while searching for guidance on how to better assist the 10-year-old girl I am tutoring. Thanks for your help.

I want to make more videos this year and I have a ton of topics to focus on (I’ve just been busy doing research and being a teacher so my time has been very tight 😩). Be sure to subscribe and turn notifications on so when I do finally get to film, you’ll be notified! Have a lovely day and thanks again for your encouragement!

I am new subscriber to your channel 🌹
Thanks so much for subscribing! I think my literacy stuff seems to be the type of content most people are interested in! Feel free to explore the videos I have so far and I’m working on some new ones in the near future! I have a few filmed and then I need to start the journal reading cycle again 😅.

Ntombizine Mwambu teaching grade four but they do not know how to spell most words what should I do
Do you use a phonics-based approach? There’s a lot of great research on orthographic mapping (I have a video on it as well!) that is showing to help students with spelling and language as a whole. Thanks for visiting my channel!
I'm piolani from sri lanka ❤
I am shihaam from south Africa
Eunice kooma i don't know how to read and write speling please help me
Great 👍 could you give us some tips in helping with math applications in numbers
I sure can! I have a video all about that coming out in a few weeks! Stay tuned and I’ll get to editing it! (It will come out after a literacy video and a new series video but it will come!)
That’s great but what resources are there to teach spelling this way?
I’ve just reached out to another commenter to see what they have used. I am not a huge ‘program person’ but with spelling it might be nice to have something more specific to turn to! Thanks for joining my channel! It really means a lot to me!
Can you tell me a English book name learning for 6years old girl.
Hi there! I’m a fan of any book that can be decoded/ sounded out. I love the practice readers by SPELDSA (free & printable) and I’ve heard great things about All About Reading and BOB Books. Anybody else have suggestions?
