Structured Word Inquiry: Literacy Instruction that Makes Sense of English Spelling for Students of all Ages and Abilities

This session, by Peter Bowers, addresses the theory and practice of “Structured Word Inquiry” (SWI) and where it fits in relation to research for literacy instruction across age and ability levels.Bowers shows how this instruction uses scientific inquiry with linguistic tools to reveal how English spelling links meaningfully related words through the interrelationship of morphology, etymology and phonology. Participants will see how studying words from this linguistic frame explains grapheme-phoneme correspondences typically considered irregular (e.g. rough, one, sign), and how it offers generative vocabulary learning by teaching the spelling-meaning connections between words (e.g sign, signal, design, signature)
