Perhaps it's because I'm UK based and syllable rules never became a thing here. I really struggle to see how the application of these rules will help a child to better decode 'cabin'. For those who swear by them, what am I missing?

Every now and again I see people highlighting the benefits teaching children syllable types/division rules. I watch the presentation/read the article and come away wondering why I would waste instructional time on them! How often do they work? What solid research supports them?

English spelling is full of silent letters. Most are there for good reason — they were once pronounced. But some were added to make English look fancier — and others are actually 100% mistakes. Here's the strange history of the letters we write but never say... 🧵

Rewriting Sounds & syllables units on <s> / <se> and <c> / <ce> spellings. Anglo-Norman scribes have a lot to answer for.

Marvellous - thank you Jason

A huge thank you to everyone who posted well wishes. 👇 Four days of barely being able to make it out of bed, but starting to feel a little better this morning. My heart goes out to all who have had this strain of flu - it's been a particularly nasty one.

I'll be taking a week off (for the first time in 4 years) of publishing a morphology resource. The dreaded flu has the better of me. 🤒

I’m really looking forward to getting my paws on this. Chris’ last book is probably the best all-round primer on teaching ready. I’m sure this will be equally good. 🙂

My new book, Primary Reading Simplified, is released this Monday (27th January). Briefly, I'd like to explain why it exists, who I think will find it useful and where you can find it. >>

This is such an important root to know for elementary Ss because of the important academic vocabulary words that contain the root tain. It also is an easy root to teach, very straightforward.

From ridiculously slow internet over the past few weeks to no Internet at all. @Sky won't resolve it for three days, and have just lost a customer.


Q. What is the function of <e> in ‘tense’?


More curiosity from me (I have an hour to kill sat in a coffee shop). Would you teach the <e> in race as part of a vowel split digraph, a consonant digraph, both or neither?


A great primer on the whys of teaching spelling from Ryon. Well worth a few minutes of your time. 🙂

ryonleyshon.wordpress.com/2022/06/25/hel… This is the first of two posts that will be focused on the teaching of spelling. Part one covers some of the key research and rationale for why spelling matters, why we should be explicitly teaching spelling and its importance in literacy development.
