 “Structured word inquiry” Bowers and Kirby (2010) literacy instr
 uction that engages learners of all ages and abilities by making sense o
 f our surprisingly logical spelling system. English spelling can only be 
 understood through scientific investigation of the interrelationship of
  morphology (bases &amp\; affixes)\, etymology (historical influences) and
  phonology (grapheme-phoneme correspondences).
 The evidence from multipl
 e meta-analyses is that morphological instruction brings literacy benefi
 ts to learners in general\, but in particular for less able and younger 
 students (see more on research on back).
 According to the research morph
 ology should be a feature of instruction from the start. However\, we ha
 ve little research about how best to teach teach morphology. Research on
  SWI is promising\, but has only just begun. The practical work gong on wi
 th SWI in classrooms and tutoring around the world offers educators and re
 searches needed models of what such instruction can look like. 
 The res
 ource includes an interview with Dr. Bowers and a brief video on his work.
