Using AVKO Materials & Techniques in Classrooms and Resource Rooms
Speaker: Don McCabe, Noted Author of
To Teach a Dyslexic
and
The
Patterns of English Spelling
Participants will learn what research reveals about the following
topics:
1. How to use the AVKO diagnostic/prescriptive tests and how
to quickly locate all the words in any word family, all the words that share a common
suffix such as -ment, -ful, -cial, -ssion, etc., or all the words using a Latin or Greek
root such as -ject- in The Patterns of English Spelling.
3. How Handwriting Exercises or Keyboarding Can Be Used to
"Smuggle" in Phonics, Vocabulary Building, Old Fashioned Basic Grammar,
and Spelling.
Participants will receive special AVKO handouts that will:
2. construct their own sequential spelling program based upon
their students' needs,
3. learn how to help students learn without having to study
word lists and without having to copy, copy, copy, copy, copy, copy, copy.
4. learn how to help students learn to spell without having
to waste precious after-school-at-home-time correcting papers.
5. learn how to recognize and to teach the five different
types of English spelling, the Simple, the Fancy, the Insane, the Tricky, and the
Scrunched Up.
