Description:
Your understanding of English will be transformed! Award-winning author Denise Eide reveals tools that explain 98% of English words. No longer will you need to tell your students, “that is an exception” when they misread or misspell a word. You will leave wondering why someone didn’t tell you this in kindergarten! Uncovering the Logic of English challenges the notion that English is illogical by systematically explaining English spelling and answering questions such as: Why is there a silent final E in have? Why don't we drop the E in noticeable? Why is discussion spelled with -sion rather than -tion?
Participants will learn
• the phonograms and spelling rules which explain 98% of English words.
• how English words are formed and how this knowledge can revolutionize vocabulary development.
• how understanding the reasons behind English spelling prevents students from needing to guess.
