Spelling Systematically: A Practical Workshop for Primary Schools in Bielefeld

On Thursday, June 11, 2026, the University of Bielefeld will open its doors from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM for an in-person workshop from the BiConnected program. Under the direction of Prof. Dr. Melanie Bangel, the focus will be on the structured view of reading and spelling in primary school.

What Makes This Workshop Special

This is not about dry theory, but rather about subject-didactic substance for everyday teaching. The workshop introduces the fundamentals of an approach that specifically supports weaker learners with pre-structured learning offers and sharpens the focus on the systematics of the German writing system. Afterwards, materials for practical teaching will be tested and discussed together. This creates a real closeness to school reality and provides impulses for lesson planning, support practices, and target group engagement.
