I am thrilled to be speaking with Dr. Pete Bowers a researcher and literacy consultant. Pete educates teachers, practitioners, and students around the globe with understanding the spelling-meaning connection of the English language through the approach of scientific inquiry. He calls this instructional approach, "structured word inquiry." Watch this same content on YouTube: https://youtu.be/z4c5d2rhuVY
For those interested in exploring more about SWI the About WordWorks page on Pete’s website is an archive of useful resources including videos and links to other SWI based websites and links to his published research.
Free weekly SWI Digital Drop-in:Mondays at 5 pm EST There is no sign-up, just show up! Participants bring questions for Pete.
Those interested in the research discussion can find it near the end of video 2 at the 29-minute mark at THIS LINK. That discussion continues in Video 3 (33 min).
Pete’s most comprehensive piece on explaining English orthography and the place of SWI in the research is this 2021 article titled, “Structured Word Inquiry (SWI) Teaches Grapheme-Phoneme Correspondences More Explicitly Than Phonics Does: An open letter to Jennifer Buckingham and the reading research community” Download that article from HERE.
