Episode 116: This week on Thinking Deeply about Primary Education, I'm joined by Neil Almond and Christopher Such for an in-depth exploration of English orthography, including how it compares to other orthographies, the relationship it has with morphology, and the impact it has on the teaching of early reading and spelling. As part of the chat we discuss... 1. What is an orthography? 2. How does English orthography compare to other orthographies? 3. To what extent is English orthography a representation of spoken language? 4. What role does morphology play in English orthography? 5. How has the history of English words impacted English orthography? 6. How does all this potentially impact the teaching of early reading and spelling? 7. How much of this do most teachers need to know? ...plus much, much more. Whether you're new to the profession or an experienced senior leader, you won't want to miss this one! podcast via www.ko-fi.com/tdape or by subscribing to www.youtube.com/@TDaPE
