Class experience
***This class is designed with the idea of working with small groups of 2-4 learners who want to take the class together, such as siblings or friends. This class will be scheduled by private links only when requested by a parent, at a time that works for both our schedules. Please contact me if you are interested in scheduling a session!** Structured Word Inquiry is literacy instruction which operates on the premise that the English spelling system is highly ordered and logical. So much...
During our work together, your learner should come away with the understanding that the English spelling system makes sense and can be approached logically. They will understand that they should rely not only on the sounds letters make, but also consider the parts used to build a word, and its history to understand why it is spelled the way it is.
I first became familiar with SWI (sometimes also known as Real Spelling) more than 12 years ago and have been using it in my brick and mortar classrooms ever since. Over the past seven years in particular I have had extensive professional development in Structured Word Inquiry and have worked to develop teaching resources for colleagues to use in their classrooms. I have worked directly with Peter Bowers on a number of occasions and use some of his resources with his permission. I have been teaching SWI in both Flex and Ongoing class formats on Outschool since September 2022. I am an experienced Primary School Classrom Teacher with 20 years of experience in brick and mortar classrooms, and I now have more than one year of experience teaching on Outschool. I have teaching certification for Grades K-9 from the State of North Carolina.
It would be beneficial for learners to have paper and pencil/pen available for some of our work together.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Structured Word Inquiry is based on the work of many individuals, one in particular being Peter Bowers. You can find his website with more information about SWI here: https://wordworkskingston.com/WordWorks/Home.html I will at times use some of his resources with your learner, and I do so with his permission. Other sites we may use together include: (these will all be accessed via teacher screen share) https://www.etymonline.com/ https://www.latin-dictionary.net/ https://www.oed.com/?tl=true http://www.neilramsden.co.uk/spelling/searcher/index.html http://www.neilramsden.co.uk/spelling/matrix/index.html We will work together interactively on Canva to record and share work.
I love being a teacher and have wanted to be one for as long as I can remember! I now have 20 years of experience teaching elementary school and I hold two Master's degrees; one in Literacy, Curriculum and Instruction, and one in Library...
