Morph Mastery is a morphological intervention to support spelling, reading and vocabulary for learners aged 9 - 13. In this practical workshop, presented by Louise Selby, the non-specialist parent can find out more. Morph Mastery is a multi-sensory and engaging way of teaching children aged 9 - 13 to improve their reading, vocabulary and spelling skills. Through morphology, they understand how words are made up into prefixes, roots and suffixes. This intervention follows the English National Curriculum and is being used in schools.

In this two part course (comprising 2 x two-hour sessions), designed for experienced practitioners, Louise Green will consider assessment theory and practice

The sessions will contain reference to some of the commonly used tests for exam access arrangements, and will include an overview of the implications of the changes to the JCQ regulations for 2022-23.

This lecture will cover best practice in the assessment of reading comprehension, and the most up-to-date interventions to support the development of reading comprehension for primary and secondary-age students.

This lecture will start by discussing best practice in the assessment of reading comprehension. It will go on to cover how the newly developed and evidence-based ‘Reading for Meaning’ intervention programme can be used to deliver 1:1 and small group interventions for students with reading comprehension disorders. The resources for this programme will be provided in the course handouts.

Patoss is pleased to announce a series of four lectures on the most up to date, evidence-based research to inform best practice in the assessment and intervention of children with literacy disorders for primary and secondary age students.

This lecture, the first in the series, will cover the most up to date research in the understanding of reading and reading disorders. It will discuss research showing that instruction aligned with advances in the understanding of reading can improve students’ reading. The Simple View of Reading (SVR) became the guiding framework for the current “science of reading” movement, and due to its popularity, many practitioners may not be aware of other models that could more productively guide their practice.
