What’s included in your whole class pack?
The ‘Getting Started’ folder outlines where, and how, to begin to implement the Decision Spelling approach in your class, and school.
The ‘Planning’ folder offers you a ‘suggested’ order in which to teach the sequences, suggested termly assessments for monitoring purposes and all of the planning and related resources.
And finally, included in your pack are details to access nine 'tutorial' videos, for you to watch as many times as you like. The tutorials explain and model the most important activities which are referenced in all of the planning, and will hopefully make you feel confident and empowered to get started with the implementation of Decision Spelling in your school or setting.
