Word Origins is a research-based, Tier 1 word study program for students in grades 3 and up. Developed through collaboration between UFLI and the Dyslexia-SPELD Foundation (DSF), the program provides explicit, systematic instruction in orthography, morphology, semantics, and syntax to strengthen reading, writing, spelling, and vocabulary.

This hands-on training will prepare teachers to implement Word Origins in their classrooms through demonstrations, practice, and collaborative learning. Participants will explore the program’s instructional routines and gain practical experience using Word Origins for whole-group instruction and intervention settings.
