WHAT’S NEW
LEXICONS FOR LIFE
A tailored professional learning experience by Lyn Stone
Lexicons for Life is a brand-new professional learning event designed in response to educators’ requests for more live rehearsal, more real classroom guidance, and more time to work with the words that matter most to them.
Rather than a one-size-fits-all workshop, this course combines the most practical elements of Spelling for Life, Reading for Life, Writing for Life, and the Morphology Masterclass into a single high-impact session. It delivers what teachers have consistently asked for:
Clear routines with real, contextual word study
Practical demonstrations of morphology, spelling conventions, and etymology
A collaborative focus on what this looks like in actual classrooms, with actual students

NEW FOR ONE WEEK
Lifelong Literacy Bundle Collection
This is the first time these particular bundles have been released in this format.
Rather than offering single courses, I have paired areas of instruction that are distinct in practice but connected through how written language works. Each bundle focuses on two domains such as spelling and syntax, reading and writing, or morphology and language, without collapsing one into the other.
For those who want the full framework, the complete five course suite is also available.
All bundle purchases include a copy of my Building Brighter Words professional development PDF pack. This is taken from one of my most requested presentations this year and includes my rationale for sorting words into high yield categories, along with a practical word sorter template for teacher planning and training.
