As more and more discussions (and debates!) have arisen within the literacy sciences, many have moved toward more intentional and explicit phonics and spelling instruction —but what else is there? Get excited because there is a whole bunch! In this course, we’ll talk:
- Is there a science of writing? What does the research say about that?
- What happens AFTER we have explicit phonics and morphology instruction in place?
- What about timing? How do we maximize our time to meet all learners’ needs?
If you’ve been feeling like you’re ready for MORE than foundational skills for this upcoming school year, join us!

Hannah Fernweh is a lifelong learner specializing in best practices for multilingual students, translanguaging, culturally relevant pedagogy, and students with exceptionalities. She has worked in public and international schools as a teacher, coach, and department head and has a particular passion for meeting the literacy needs of linguistically, culturally, and neurologically diverse learners. Currently, she is delving into how different writing systems can impact literacy development within the brain and how exceptionalities can influence how one acquires languages and literacies. When supporting schools, Hannah guides educators to understand how the brain learns to speak and read in order to develop clear, practical plans to support diverse learners.
