20.01.2022 The final conversation in our Talking Literacy webinar series will be released today. Professor Mark Seidenberg talks about why he wrote his wonderful book Lan...guage at the Speed of Sight: How We Read, Why So Many Can't, and What Can Be Done About It. He also discusses the importance of evidence-informed teacher training and much more. This conversation will be released at 3:00pm AWST / 6:00pm AEDT today. Mark Seidenberg is a cognitive scientist, neuroscientist and psycholinguist who has studied language, reading and dyslexia for more than 30 years. His research explores basic questions about the nature of language and how it is acquired, used, and represented in the brain. His main interest is in how reading skill is acquired by children and the causes of dyslexia. He is committed to exploring how the science of reading can contribute to improve educational performance.

16.01.2022 Last chance to register for the Talk for Writing Workshop starting 19 August - https://www.speld.org.au/view-e/talk-for-writing-online-221 The Talk for Writing approach enables children to read and write independently for a variety of audiences and purposes within different subjects. A key feature is that children internalise the language structures needed to write through talking the text, as well as close reading. The approach moves from dependence towards independence, with the teacher using shared and guided teaching to develop the ability in children to write creatively and powerfully.
