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. 

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:

I will at times use some of his resources with your learner, and I do so with his permission.
