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

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?

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

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.

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.

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. 🙂

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. 🤒

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.

Marvellous - thank you Jason

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

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... 🧵

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?
