Description

Take a closer look at imagination through this imagination structured word inquiry (SWI) (Bowers & Kirby, 2010).

Structured Word Inquiry is a research-based instructional practice of asking:

  • What does the word mean? How might we use the imagination in a sentence?
  • What’s the structure of the word (morphology)? Are there prefixes or suffixes? What’s the base?
  • Where did this word come from (etymology)? What other related words are there?
  • What are the letter-sound (grapheme-phoneme) correspondences?

When we dig into these four questions, we make connections that make spelling memorable. That benefits students in reading, spelling, and writing. Building literacy in all three aspects.

Included:

  • Questions and Answers for the structured word inquiry
  • Instructions to walk you through the word study
  • A Matrix
  • Word Sum page
  • Common Suffixes page for students to make note of words they know containing those suffixes
  • Spelling Patterns, Suffixes, and Suffixing Conventions page to review what they’re learning

Happy Reading! Happy Spelling! Happy Writing!
