One insight I am taking away from this class is that there are reasons why we spell words in certain ways and pronounce certain letters in specific ways at given times.

# data[].attributes.body
Since there are reasons and rules, I will not have to shrug my shoulders when students ask me why the 'g' sounds different in two different words or why some words have double letters at the end. These lectures are giving me the sense of understanding and confidence to help my students and myself.
The 'bed' trick and flower trick to help differentiate between letters is also very useful, as well as the use of mirrors. Thank you.

This knowledge is useful for the elementary age students, which I teach. Specifically, grades 3 through 6.

Why is 'd' doubled at the end of 'add' if it is not a FLOSS letter?

The awareness  of the different combinations of letters and the sounds they create  is so important! It can make teaching orthograpy so much understandable for the sudents and reading comprehension accordingly.

one comment I want to add: the information was very helpful but the unit is too loaded for one asynchronous meeting (maybe it should be divided). It took me a lot of time to do all the tasks, and to wach all the videos. (Watching the videos alone took more an hour and 10 minutes).

The insight- putting epphasis more on the grapheme- phoneme correspondance.
Which should be taught in 4th and 3rd grades.
I think the suffix topic should be more explained.

Mostly elementary school as the kids learn how to read and write. When these conventions are taught as the child learns the basics he\she will learn it the right way and it will definitely prevent problems, questions and issues in the futrure.

I think that this is useful for all grades. It is of course helpful to those just starting to learn how to read, although I should imagine that for younger children all the rules would be overwhelming, whereas for older and adult learners, the rules would be very useful.

I missed the first lesson so this was really my first taste of the course and it mostly left me with the insight of the relevance of deeply understanding these foundations of the English language to teaching kids.

Being armed with explanations when kid's ask me (frustrated) questions - "why is it like this here and not there?" It'll be nice to not have to fall back on the shrug and "it's an exception - that's the way it is" response.

any and all. In certain ways perhaps the most with younger kids at the beginning of language acquisition, but probably equally for older kids who know a lot but have a lot of frustration about all of the different rules/spellings/pronounciations.

I'm still confused about open and closed syllables. I understand short and long pronunciations of vowels are connected but I don't feel like I completely understand the connection. Also, I found the excel chart very dense and confusing.

It is so important to teach spelling rules in general and the logic behind certain spelling regularities, as well as certain tips to help students remember how to write words correctsly. As a native speaker simply knowing how it is but not necessarily why, I was enlightened by the things presented in just two sessions. Looking forward to learn more!
