Orthography

from The Teachers' Podcast · host Chris Hyde & Emma Archer

Chris and Emma kick off a three‑part series exploring the building blocks of spelling, starting with orthography—how children learn what “looks right” in written English.   Chris shares the roots of his love for language, why English spelling is so complex and how phonics, pattern‑spotting and automaticity shape confident writers.   They unpack spelling across EYFS to KS2, touch on Ofsted’s expectations and offer practical ways teachers can support children without overwhelming them.  Get in touch: [email protected] omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
