Hi there, I'm Jocelyn Seamer. Teacher, former school leader, author, and all around cheerleader for teachers everywhere. Learning to read and write is a matter of social justice. Every child deserves to learn through evidence informed practices, and every teacher deserves to be fully supported to make that happen.The Structured Literacy Podcast goes beyond the program to get to the heart of what it's really like to build a structured approach to literacy across the school.

  • S7 E9 - Why We Should Keep the Early in Early Childhood
    Mar 28 2026

    In this episode, Jocelyn pushes back on all-day, scripted, tightly paced instruction in Foundation to Year 2 while defending responsive, teacher-led explicit instruction as essential for learning across the curriculum. She explains why young children need a better-designed school day with movement, talk, and purposeful guided play so they can regulate, engage, and learn more.

    We have released Spelling Success in Action 1, a catch-up program for phonics, early morphology, and orthographic conventions for years 3 to 8. This program can be used one-on-one, in small groups, or as a whole class and is built on what the evidence tells us is the critical knowledge students need for strong spelling and the type of instruction that makes learning stick.

  • S7 E8 - Why Your Spelling Approach Might Be Working Against You (Part 2)
    Mar 21 2026

    The fastest way to make spelling instruction fail is to assume every student is starting from the same place. They are not and your planning shouldn’t pretend they are. I’m getting practical about what to do with the real mix of spellers sitting in front of you, especially in upper primary and early secondary, where gaps can hide behind “good enough” writing and familiar word memory.

    I also walk you through the key design decisions behind Spelling Success in Action 1, including differentiated word lists within a shared lesson structure, 15 to 20 minute lessons across four days a week, embedded assessment and progress monitoring, retrieval practice, and text-level application so spelling transfers into writing.

  • S7 E7 - Why Your Spelling Approach Might Be Working Against You (Part 1)
    Mar 14 2026

    Spelling is not a side quest. When it isn’t automatic, it quietly steals the working memory students need for ideas, sentence craft, and clear argument, especially in upper primary and the early secondary years. If you are seeing capable students write small, play it safe with vocabulary, or avoid writing altogether, word-level knowledge may be the hidden barrier you cannot afford to ignore.

    Jocelyn focuses on Years 3 to 8 and lays out what the research says strong spelling instruction should look like, versus what it often becomes in practice.
