Praise for Structured Word Inquiry: An Implementation Guide for Teachers
“A brilliant and practical resource for anyone interested in improving their understanding of orthography and how it can be taught. I highly recommend this book for anyone seriously curious about SWI.”

“This book is wonderful, and such a needed resource! After learning about the aspects of orthography that are often unexplored in literacy teaching, teachers always ask “how do I get started?” Your book will help them with that question, providing structured lessons that show teachers how to explicitly teach important orthographic concepts while engaging students. Thank you for all the work that you have clearly put into this.”

"By the time you're done [working through the lessons] you've set the stage for kids to do much more independent inquiry projects. It's a great way to get kids started.... I really like how it's taking something that can be disconcerting and turning it into manageable bite-sized chunks."
