Spellography for Teachers: How English Spelling Works

by Louisa Cook Moats

This 128 page book intended for teachers explores the structure and history of English spelling from several historical layers in English orthography; phoneme-grapheme correspondences; letter patterns in orthography, including syllable types; orthographic rules; and meaningful word parts (morphemes). The module clarifies differences between syllables and morphemes and between irregular and high-frequency words. Many exercises allow teachers to develop confidence with phonics, spelling, and word study.
