Structured Word Inquiry — Nothing motivates like understanding!
do + ing → doing
do + es → does
do + ne → done
go + ing → going
go + es → goes
go + ne → gone
Bowers’ research on this instruction has been published in prestigious journals and his workshops for schools have been received enthusiastically around the world.
The matrix and word sum allow us to investigate words like does, done and gone to understand the ordered way English spelling represents the meaning of words. That same understanding informs the spelling-meaning connections in countless words including instruction and structure.
Workshop content and design is appropriate for both teachers experienced with SWI and those having their first experience.
