Episode 479: Structured Word Inquiry Part 1: A Different Way to Teach Spelling

Most of us were taught spelling through weekly word lists and memorization. Structured Word Inquiry takes a completely different approach by teaching students to investigate how words are built from meaningful parts. In this episode, we explore what Structured Word Inquiry is, how it differs from traditional spelling instruction, and whether it might fit into your homeschool. If you have ever wondered why English spelling works the way it does, this conversation may change how you think about words.
