Whole-school professional learning with Lyn Stone | January 2027

Your teachers are expected to teach reading, spelling and writing every day. But how much do they really know about the language they’re teaching?

English has a sophisticated writing system, with fascinating relationships between sounds, letters, word structure, meaning and history. Understanding these relationships gives teachers the knowledge they need to explain how words work, why they’re spelled as they are, and how they contribute to increasingly sophisticated sentences and written expression.

Yet much of this linguistic knowledge receives limited attention in teacher preparation and professional development. Teachers are often given instructional routines without sufficient access to the knowledge that explains them.

The Literacy Deep Dive is an opportunity to explore that knowledge in depth.

Join educational linguist and author Lyn Stone for two hours of research-informed professional learning designed specifically for Australian primary schools.

Drawing on more than 30 years of clinical practice, teacher education and school partnerships, Lyn will take participants beneath the surface of everyday literacy instruction to examine the fascinating structure of English and its practical application in the classroom.
