We all love Marie’s incredible videos. Now she has created a Video Library where you can subscribe and get access to dozens of these amazing videos. 

There are options for monthly and annual subscriptions at very reasonable prices. She has videos that cover a wide range of word investigations across many subjects “designed to help students discover how English spelling works”. She also offers videos that provide guidance on how to integrate morphology and etymology into the classroom. In addition, you get access to posters and printables on “word structure, high frequency words and ‘irregular’ words”. 

This is a unique and invaluable treasure trove for anyone using etymology and morphology to teach English spelling. 

Keys to Literacy is a fantastic organization. One of the (many) things they do is provide great resources and classes on how to teach writing to students. Last year they held a virtual conference on teaching writing and it looks like it’s becoming an annual event. 

They have an excellent line up of experts, some very interesting topics and at $49 for the whole day, you can’t beat the price.

This one has the potential to be very interesting. As many of you know, Louisa Moats has been one of the leading thinkers in the world of Structure LIteracy for a long time. In this EdWeb presentation she will be discussing Slow Reading in Dyslexia: What Goals are Reasonable and How Do We Achieve Them?

She will be discussing: 

“…the research that suggests multicomponent approaches to instruction are more effective than a singular focus on reading faster, and she will provide strategies and methods for instructors to understand and utilize.”

EdWeb presentations are free to attend and they are recorded. You can view the archived recordings any time. There aren’t many times when we’ll have the opportunity to see someone as prestigious as Louisa Moats speaking on a topic as interesting as slow reading at no charge.

This is a fascinating article that looks at the research on homework and breaks down when it’s of value and when it’s not. It’s not quite so cut and dried as we often like to think.
