Express an interest in Word Mapping Training for adults.
This is not training in teaching children.
This is training so that teachers have the required knowledge and tools to do what the education department expects them to already know, before using any programme.
Word Mapping Training
You may think that because you can read, you’ll be able to map words to support a child’s orthographic learning.
But can you identify the phonemes in any word, which letters are the graphemes, and the sound value of each grapheme in that word?
That’s what you need to know when a child can’t work it out for themselves, especially when they have poor phonemic awareness.
When a child needs you to show them the code, will you know what to show them?
Train in Bidirectional Word Mapping and learn how to map words with confidence, in both directions, at the point of need.
And while you’re learning, MyWordz® technology shows YOU the code too. Learn alongside the child.
Ask about Bidirectional Word Mapping Teacher Training with Emma Hartnell-Baker MEd SEN, a specialist in phonological–orthographic mapping and Bidirectional Word Mapping.
The child will read ‘She was in England’ by using known correspondences and applying Set for Variability, but if they don’t secure the actual speech sounds, graphemes and meaning in the orthographic lexicon, they will spell using the limited code they can remember: the graphemes for the sounds. Do you know how to map the sentence using The Word Mapping Formula?
Teachers who can map words bidirectionally can see when children are mapping words efficiently — accurately connecting the phonemes in the spoken word with the graphemes that represent them, so that the word can become stored for automatic recognition and retrieval. They can also recognise when this process is breaking down and know how to help.
They understand the Word Mapping Formula. Ask about in-service training and also online training options. Mapping@ShowTheCode.com
