This workshop presented by Jan Hagston, an experienced and enthusiastic educator, will look at examples of students’ writing and analyse the spelling – what they get right and wrong – through the lens of the knowledges. Participants will then have the opportunity to use this strategy to analyse spelling in student written texts.
