Together in Literacy

4.18 Season 4 Wrap-Up

In this episode, we’re joined by Nicky Humphreys and Ally Lewis, the founding members of Dyslexia Awareness Northern Ireland, for a transatlantic talk on dyslexia.
Nicky Humphreys did her PGCE Primary in 2004/05; in 2016, she commenced a postgraduate diploma in teaching literacy to learners with dyslexia/SpLD through the Northern Ireland Dyslexia Centre. She worked as a tutor for the Centre in Belfast for a few years before setting up her own small business teaching children in her local area and working with her local schools. Her professional body is PATOSS. She is married to Marshall and they have three children. She loves spring/summer and holidays. 
Ally Lewis is a former pediatric and neonatal nurse who transitioned into education after having children. Her personal journey into literacy advocacy began when her son struggled with reading and spelling in early primary school. Frustrated by the lack of support and resources in Northern Ireland, Ally pursued structured literacy training in Belfast. Since then, she has become a passionate advocate for children with dyslexia, offering support to families and working one-on-one with students in schools.
Together, along with Jodi Snowdon (who now works for NESSY), Nicky and Ally founded the Facebook page and advocacy group in Northern Ireland, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DANIadvocacy">DANI (Dyslexia Awareness Northern Ireland)</a>.

4.17 Bridging Oceans, Building Understanding: A Transatlantic Talk on Dyslexia with Nicky Humphreys & Ally Lewis

In this episode, Casey Welsh, of <a href="https://dyslexiasavannah.com/">Savannah Dyslexia</a>, joins us to answer the most important questions about morphology.
Casey Welsh is an Accredited Training Fellow with OGA and has her M.Ed. in Curriculum & Instruction, focusing on Dyslexia Studies & Language-Based Learning Disabilities. She is the CEO of Savannah Dyslexia, a private practice in Savannah, GA, focused on providing OG intervention, professional development courses for classroom teachers, and mentoring trainees through training and practicum for OGA Associate, Certified, and Fellow level credentials. As a mom of two dyslexic sons, Casey has a deep belief in the impact of the Orton-Gillingham approach on students’ lives and a drive to ensure more teachers and interventionists are empowered with the knowledge and tools to reach more students. 
We are so grateful to have Casey join us to share her advice and practical tips for infusing morphology thoughtfully and effectively into our O-G lessons.

4.16 Demystifying Morphology with Casey Welsh

Have you ever had a student who knows a concept in the first moments of the lesson, but the next time it pops up, it’s as if they had never seen it before? You may wonder what is happening and what you can do to help. This may happen for several reasons, but it should cause us to pause and think - and that is what this episode is all about! We’re discussing the transfer of learning or knowledge. 
In this episode, we’ll explore:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">What is the transfer of learning/knowledge?</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">Why do we sometimes not see a transfer of learning from the intervention setting into the classroom? </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">What are some things we can do to increase the likelihood of a transfer occurring? </li>
</ul>
