NOMANIS continues to be recommended reading with its various research- and experience-informed articles, see the December 2017 edition here:

Posted: 09/01/2018

In this edition, we continue our focus on phonics, with an explainer from Kevin Wheldall, Pamela Snow and Linda Graham; a discussion of why the digital age makes phonics more important than ever from Tom Nicholson; and a reflection by Anne Glennie on converting from phonics-phobic to phonics fanatic. We also have several articles on reading comprehension – James Murphy gives seven steps to improving comprehension, and John Kenny outlines the importance of vocabulary. In our Q&A this issue, Kevin Wheldall speaks with reading expert Linda Siegel.

Alison Clarke of Spelfabet has now kindly provided the Musec Briefings for Special Educational Needs (SEN) via her site:

MUSEC Briefings

This page is an archive of one-page Briefings on special educational topics from the Macquarie University Special Education Centre (MUSEC) website between 2005 and 2018. When MUSEC was disestablished in 2018, these documents, many still useful and relevant, were set to disappear from the public domain. I thus sought and gained written permission from MUSEC staff to republish them, on the condition that they remained unaltered, and their authors and source were acknowledged.

Please note that information in these briefings may no longer be current, and I cannot provide any guarantees as to the accuracy of all information, since many of the topics are beyond my professional expertise as a speech pathologist. When in doubt, please search for more recent references published in well-respected, peer-reviewed journals (try searching using Google Scholar, and/or ask a subject expert), and use your own judgement.

For new briefings like these on current educational topics, try Nomanis Notes.
