A new edition

- a certificate for 8 hours of self-identified PL
Take the mystery out of parts of speech. Get the most from your dictionaries. Teach your students how to break words down into morphemes like bosses!
Featured course:
New in 2025: Enrol on this course and you will be invited to the new recordings sessions taking place on Feb 19, 26 and Mar 5 2025. You will then have three additional months to access the new recordings and material as the course is updated.
Give the gift of morphological awareness with this unique masterclass!
Research has shown that when children understand the morphemes that make up words, they become better readers and spellers. They also develop a greater appreciation for language and its complexities.
Lyn Stone’s Morphology Masterclass is a comprehensive three-part course that delves into the fascinating world of morphology and etymology. In this course, you will learn how to identify, analyse and teach the morphemes that make up words.

Taking expressions of interest from schools in Australia, China, UK, USA, Canada to host any of our workshops in 2024. We will be traveling extensively next year, so get in touch if you would like to host us.
Bring our courses to your school.
If your school improvement focus subjects are:
- spelling (Spelling for Life)
- grammar and syntax (Language for Life)
- the science of reading (Reading for Life)
- writing (Writing for Life)
then you might want to consider a 12 month coaching package with Lyn Stone.
The package includes fixed costs, per head costs and discounts.
There are several ways that we can work together. Schools and school clusters often like to choose to have Lyn perform a number of roles, as her speciality is working within pre-existing systems and helping educators select and reject aspects of those systems to align more closely with the science of learning in general and the science of reading in particular.
WHAT SETS LYN STONE'S COACHING APART
Lyn has extensive knowledge of and training in many of the current approaches to teaching literacy. She can comment on a very wide range of books, training and resources to help you make decisions about what’s working and not working in your school context.
Lyn is all about connection. If she doesn’t have the answer/resource, she knows where to find it and can often get discounts for you. Her finger is on the pulse of the best conferences, events and training and she will let you know what’s available and when so that you don’t miss out.
- This is not a “set and forget” subscription package. This is active coaching on an exclusive basis.
- This is not a scheme to lock you in to one brand. This is a partnership with an extremely well-connected expert in the field who has no trouble connecting you with the best in the business.
