Orthographic Mapping in Practice

Connecting Research to Structured Literacy Instruction

 

Orthographic mapping is often referenced in literacy conversations but rarely unpacked in ways that meaningfully inform instruction. This workshop is designed to clarify what orthographic mapping is, how it develops, and how structured literacy instruction can intentionally support it.

​

In this workshop, we will explore:

• What orthographic mapping actually means and common misconceptions

• How orthographic mapping develops through instruction, not exposure alone

• The relationship between phonemic awareness, spelling, and word recognition

• Instructional practices within structured literacy that strengthen mapping

• How to recognize when orthographic mapping is not yet secure
