For The Love Of Literacy
For the Love of Literacy provides podcasts about the exciting advances in literacy instruction, from morphology and orthography (the spelling system), to meaningful sight word memorization, and sentence construction and comprehension. We focus on the often overlooked aspects of literacy and their links to language development.
We tie learning to read, spell and writing to their roots in spoken language. This makes teaching and learning these abilities much easier because literacy learning is driven by language learning. The major components of spoken language plus vocabulary knowledge strongly predicting and largely determining growth in reading, spelling and writing.
Our guests are not just knowledgeable the links between language and language but know how to implement this learning in the classroom.
You will hear from noted researchers including Linnea Ehri, Marcia Henry and Peter Bowers as well as teachers who have developed lessons that engage students and enrich language abilities. Check back weekly to discover more Fulfilling Literacy Lessons and Clarifying conversations. Feel free to reach out to me at Bruce@ReadingShift.com.

Vocabulary and Morphology using Structured Word Inquiry
Vocabulary & Morphology using Structured Word Inquiry by Lisa Barnett and Katie Squires is designed to help you implement lessons guided by the four essential questions of structured word inquiry. The book contains a teacher guide, lesson template, and student work packet. The comprehensive Teacher Resource Guide leads you through the four guiding questions of SWI to help the teacher present lessons to their students that will uncover key concepts of the structure of our spelling system and connect vocabulary words within and beyond the subject area you are studying.
These connections are discovered through studying the interrelationships of morphology, etymology, and phonology, all while increasing and strengthening curricular area vocabulary, spelling, and critical thinking skills.
The Student Worksheet Booklet allows students to complete short, meaningful activities with answer keys within the Teacher Guide. There are additional activities throughout the lessons and student work packet including a puzzle-piece note-taking sheet that can be made into a booklet of all the words and connections studied!
