  • Marcia Henry and Deb Glaser - Learning to Love Language - From Words to Meaningful Sentences
    Learn how educators can enrich lessons and develop a deep appreciation for written and spoken language for students in all grades. Learn that spelling, morphology, vocabulary development and sentence writing can be taught, not as separate subjects, but in a time-saving integrated manner. If you are looking to connect word meaning and sentence comprehension to decoding instruction then this is the podcast for you. Dr. Marcia Henry brings six decades of experience working in the fields of literacy and dyslexia.  She writes for a variety of professional journals and serves on the editorial boards of Dyslexia and Annals of Dyslexia, the journals of the British Dyslexia Association, and the International Dyslexia Association.  She has been a distinguished professor, researcher, and interventionist. Her books for teachers include: Unlocking literacy: Effective decoding and spelling instruction, Morphemes matter: A framework for instruction, WORDS: Integrated decoding and spelling instruction based on word origin and word structure and Patterns for success in reading and spelling (2nd Ed.).Dr. Deb Glaser is an educational consultant, author, and professional development provider with expertise in reading assessment and proven instructional methods.  She was a classroom and learning disability instructor and a director of a non-profit dyslexia learning center where she developed programs to teach both teachers and students. Her books include Morpheme magic: Lessons to build morphological awareness for grades 4-12 and Morphemes for little ones: Bringing the magic of language into K-3 classrooms. Hanna, P.

  • Sight Words and Morphology Linnea Ehri Pete Bowers Kenn Apel
    Linnea Ehri updates her theory of orthographic mapping to emphasize the role that morphology plays not just in the four initial phases but when words are stored in sight word memory directly - without needing to be sounded out. The spelling of morphemes is critical to developing sight words and becomes the predominate way that words enter sight word memory. She points out that morphemes - the meaningful core of every word - have consistent spelling patterns that help readers resolve sound-symbol conflicts and is critical for learning so-called irreguular words like go, goes, gone, do, does, done and say, says and said.Ehri credits Peter Bowers and Sue Hegland, author of Beneath the Surface of Words, for helping her understand the role of morphology in orthographic mapping. Pete and Kenn Apel then enter the discussion, clarifying what morphology is and how it influences spelling, word meaning and vocabulary growth. Links:Article on inquiry vs. direct instruction Pete Bowers mentioned:de Jong et. al (2023) Let's talk evidence – The case for combining inquiry-based and direct instruction,Educational Research Review, 39, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.edurev.2023.100536.Click HERE for a video The Nested Combinatorial Structure of English Spelling: Binding the pronunciations, spelling and meanings of words (Bowers & Foley, 2025) (approx 15 min)Click HERE for a video of Pete’s presentation “Morphology Instruction and Language Comprehension” for the Reading League Summit 2025.  (approx 15 min)Click HERE Pete’s video “The Matrix Matters Because Language is Combinatorial” for the Dyslexia Training Institute” for the 9th Annual Dyslexia Virtual Conference of the Dyslexic Training Institute.

  • 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!Purchase Vocabulary and Morphology using Structured Word InquiryLisa Barnett’s Buzzing Classroom BlogLink tree - https://linktr.ee/EmpowerLC

  • Morphology and SWI - English as a Sensible and Meaningful Spelling System
    Jennifer Constantine and Kara Lee have written an implementation guide to one of the most exciting areas of literacy instruction - Structured Word Inquiry. They are the authors of Structured Word Inquiry – An Implementation Guide for Teachers. Their practical guide to structured word inquiry, or SWI, “revolutionized our approach to teaching students to read and spell. English makes sense, and we can help students make sense of it. This revelation has sparked our creativity and renewed our enthusiasm for teaching.”Kara’s professional experience includes working as a school psychologist and intervention specialist, and she is currently the owner of a consulting, educator training, and private tutoring company. She has had extensive training in educational assessment, Orton-Gillingham, Structured Literacy, and Structured Word Inquiry. Jen has dedicated her career to teaching reading and spelling, first in public schools, and now in private practice as a Structured Literacy Dyslexia Interventionist. She explored many approaches and methodologies along the way. Yet, it wasn’t until she discovered Structured Word Inquiry that the picture truly came into focus. Jen has a Master's in Literacy, is a Reading Specialist Credential, and has a Master's level certificate in Dyslexia. She is also a licensed teacher in two states.

About For The Love Of Literacy

Welcome Educators to For the Love of LiteracyWe want to introduce you to the many wonderful and creative people who are turning innovative research into practical lessons. We’ll try to clarify many of today’s confusing topics, break down time-consuming silos and demystify critical components of language, including morphology, vocabulary, sentence construction and language comprehension. Our goal is to show how to teach reading, spelling and writing as one integrated ability, making literacy easier to learn and saving hours a week for more enriching activities. Our focus won’t just be on students that receive help from Special education and reading teachers but also disengaged students reading at grade level.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 [email protected].
