Taking Literacy Instruction from Isolated to Integrated
We welcome anyone who is looking for ways to...
learn more about SWI
teach how the writing system actually works
help ALL students learn to read and spell
bring the joy back into teaching
avoid describing English as "crazy" or full of "exceptions"
be a more effective literacy instructor
make vocabulary instruction more robust
Our goal is to help teachers understand how the writing system actually works, understand how Structured Word Inquiry (SWI) works, and understand how to implement that knowledge with students. As teachers, we've been there. We struggled to apply our growing knowledge of the English writing system into practical lessons with students. Through our book and workshops, we aim to show you what SWI looks like and sounds like in whatever teaching situation you find yourself using whatever materials you have to work with.
