About this episode

This episode explores Structured Word Inquiry as an alternative approach to teaching spelling, focusing on the investigation of word structures rather than memorization.

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.
