TeachMeet - Why We Need the Language to Literacy Spell

Georgie Cooney explains why she felt the need to create published stories to help young learners to strengthen both their language and literacy skills, especially those with dyslexia. Georgie explains how to use the book 'From Tragic to Magic - A Phonological Fairy tale' and the book 'Who Put the Spell into Spelling' with its accompanying workbook 'Supporting Children with Fun Rules for Tricky Spellings'. Watch this video to be taken on a short language to literacy journey.

Showcase - The Language to Literacy Spell

In this showcase, you will see how having strong phonological awareness, helps to provide a firm literacy foundation (especially for children with literacy difficulties such as dyslexia). Georgie Cooney models the main three stages (syllables, rhyming and phonemes) and shows how you can have loads of fun working with children through speaking and listening activities. Georgie uses ‘From Tragic to Magic - A Phonological Fairy Tale’ to help you on the journey, which will lead us to find out who put the spell into spelling (using ‘Who Put the Spell into Spelling’ and workbook).

Live Workshop - Preparing Children for Literacy through the Language Spell

Georgie Cooney presents an interactive workshop, where you will practise phonological awareness in order to prepare the way for strong literacy skills.
We shall be using ‘From Tragic to Magic - A Phonological Fairy Tale’ , which will then take us on to learning how we can strengthen reading and spelling. We will end by finding out ‘Who Put The Spell Into Spelling?’.
