With 27 sets and 62 sub-sets\, and a vast array of splits and mergers\, they can be overwhelming to coach/teacher and client/student alike! Through demonstration and a little bit of play\, Jude\, Chris and Eric will propose some strategies to learn and teach the Lexical Sets effectively\, such as diagnostics\, songs\, emojis\, colour coding\, minimal pairs\, rhyming\, mind maps and visuals.  \n\n\n\nRegistration for this webinar will be $10 to cover hosting costs. This webinar will be recorded\, so if you can’t attend live\, you can still register and watch at your convenience. \n\n\n\nTo convert this meeting to your time zone\, click here. \n\n\n\nRegister here! \n\n\n\nRegistrants will receive Zoom link information 24 hours prior to the event.
