"Morphological Instruction and language comprehension" Bowers, Reading League Summit 2025

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
English spelling has an undeserved reputation as unreliable and riddled with frustrating quirks. In the pages of this book, you'll find stories, examples, and explanations that will reorient your perspective and reveal the integrated system that makes sense of the spelling of English words.

This book will answer questions like these:

- Why is there a W in answer and an L in talk? move and comfortable ?

- What's going on with words like hasten spelled like basin or mason About the Author:

These spellings make sense once we are aware of all that's conveyed by a written word-information about so much more than just its pronunciation. This book will introduce the structural (morphological) framework that is present in every English word, reveal the signals of relationships that are embedded in our most interesting spellings, and provide enlightening evidence to support a reevaluation of some traditional spelling rules.

The compelling explanations of English spelling contained in this book allow all of us to understand and reconstruct many spellings, rather than memorizing them, while expanding vocabulary and deepening reading comprehension. This is particularly important for those with dyslexia.

Set aside what you know about spelling for the moment, and take a journey below the surface of words. Together, we'll uncover the surprising coherence, depth, and clarity of the English writing system.

Sue Scibetta Hegland is an educator and frequent speaker on topics related to spelling. She began her career doing research and instructional design, but her focus shifted in 2003, when she learned that one of her children is dyslexic. Trained in the Orton-Gillingham approach to literacy instruction, she has been studying and teaching about orthographic linguistics since 2014. Sue has served on the Board of Directors for the Upper Midwest Branch of the International Dyslexia Association, on the Board of Education for the Brandon Valley School District, and as Editor-in-Chief for the International Dyslexia Association's Fact Sheet publications. She is also the founder of the website LearningAboutSpelling.com.

"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 exactly the way forward for this subject, and it is handled in a friendly and practical way."
Dr. Peter Bowers, Founder of the WordWorks Literacy Centre; Author, Teaching How the Written Word Works

"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."
Sue Scibetta Hegland, Author, Beneath the Surface of Words
David Crystal, Honorary Professor of Linguistics at the University of Bangor and author of over 100 books

We invite you to uncover the transformative power of Structured Word Inquiry (SWI) with this comprehensive implementation guide. SWI unveils the orderly structure underlying English spelling and empowers educators to demystify its complexities for students.

This guide isn't merely theoretical; it's a hands-on resource designed for those already familiar with SWI principles. It bridges the gap between theory and practice, offering practical strategies to integrate SWI into daily teaching routines.

The lessons acknowledge the inevitable wonderings and questions that arise in teaching orthography, and celebrates them as signs of growth. This book empowers educators to thrive alongside their students in mastering the intricacies of English orthography.
