Pleased to share my most recent WordWorks Newsletter. Lots of resources for those interested in getting a better understanding in structured word inquiry. Here's the link: files.realspellers.org/PetesFolder/Ne…
vimeo.com/877696151?shar… This course illustrates an everyday practice for binding the spellings, pronunciations and meanings of words for improving orthographic mapping. See the video to see how it draws repeated attention to graphemes, morphemes and suffixing changes in words.
If you are seriously curious about how to better understand and teach how our writing system works, this course starting this weekend is a good place to start. Email me <[email protected]> to inquire. register. files.realspellers.org/PetesFolder/Fl…
Excited about my upcoming on-line courses and presentations. Click this link for a poster with information on these with links to learn more and register: files.realspellers.org/PetesFolder/Fl… Please share with anyone who might be interested!
Thanks to Shawna Pope-Jefferson for this interview on the key practice of "spelling-out orthography" in SWI. youtube.com/watch?v=xJ7dB5… See my website wordworksinternational.com with info for on-line SWI Courses starting next week, including one on spelling-out orthography.
See about this SWI course hosted by EduSpark. These are interactive on-line sessions. Unlike my own courses, EduSpark makes videos available also. vimeo.com/850693808/c33b…
Click here youtu.be/nqjHDuYnlnI for a video of Rebecca Loveless and I introducing the 10th Annual SWI Nueva Institute starting June 26. Register here: tinyurl.com/10thSWIInstitu…. More details and links in YouTube description.
Click here youtu.be/XIksPu0ades to see a film on the relationship between morphology and etymology in English orthography. I collaborated with Marie Foley to help educators I work with in SWI. See context in YouTube description. See more on SWI at wordworksinternational.com
See a new videos of students using "spelling-out orthography" in SWI to help them recognize and then bind GPCs and morphemes in memory. In the second part of this video we see a student self-correct identifying a word through this process. youtube.com/watch?v=fa0MVL…
I highly recommend this learning opportunity. Fiona Hamilton @wordtorque does such an important job making this work practical for teachers. The teacher presenters provide such a rich opportunity for seeing ways orthographic / SWI instruction come alive in classrooms.

WE ARENT GOING ANYWHERE students continue flooding onto south field west after the NYPD raided the Gaza Solidarity Encampment (on south field east)
Maybe my most important radar in a long time.
"If outright lies are a sign of desperation, then the pro-Zionist movement might be cooked." @briebriejoy on the media's exaggeration, and the lies around antisemitic attacks to smear the student protests at university campuses, distracting Gaza amid TikTok ban
It’s so exciting to see this historic student action, standing up to the repression of pro-Palestine speech. Let it spread everywhere please
BREAKING‼️ Students and alumni at the University of Michigan have started day 1 of their Gaza Solidarity Encampment✊🏾🇵🇸
The failure of ny times to retract their articles is not only shockingly bad journalism, it is also complicity to war crimes as their reporting is used to justify them. Not to mention the rest of the media that continue to promote atrocity propaganda. As in every war west is in.
oh my god. The NYT cited testimonies of two volunteers at the Shura base who handled bodies from October 7 saying they saw evidence of rape and sexual violence Haaretz just confirmed they both lied, and there was actually zero evidence of any sexual violence on the bodies:
@ralfduschef All media have their biases – it's baked in. I'm happy to declare mine. Whether you believe it or not, they are rooted in egalitarianism and human rights. What you ought to be concerned about, if you really care about transparency and getting a plurality of views, is this: The…
Research shows terms like 'massacre' and 'slaughter' are only ever used by the New York Times to describe the killing of Israelis, never for the killing of Palestinians. Now the Intercept has found the NYT memo that specifically bars its journalists, and even interviewees, from…
"Not one single word in the PM's statement of condemnation of the Israeli destruction of the Iranian consulate in Damascus", says Rochdale MP George Galloway. Sky's Kay Burley, he adds, is "the only person to demand that of a government minister". trib.al/wXXUmpJ
We're on the brink of a Middle East war, which could quickly escalate into a world war, with nuclear weapons. Still so certain it was a good idea to let Israel brutalise the Palestinians, steal their land, herd them into tiny reservations, and now slaughter them – all while we…
Students love to be shown how to use resources so they can find out a word's history and explain its spelling for themselves!
Let me get this straight. Biden gives Israel a blank cheque, which it uses not only to slaughter civilians in Gaza for six months, but to bomb the Iranian consulate in Damascus, a very grave violation of international law. US intelligence tells Biden this risks triggering a…
Fantastic opportunities!

The lack of reliable recent casualty figures from Gaza might be because "84% of health facilities [have been] damaged or destroyed..." Overall, "damage to critical infrastructure in Gaza is estimated at around $18.5 billion..." PS: report from the World Bank.
This new @WorldBank -#UN report shows that the estimates of the Gaza destruction used in my "Anatomy of a genocide" report were conservative. The report exposes a level of erasure of a society that is unprecedented in our time: worldbank.org/en/news/press-…
The media (and especially NY Times) coverage of systematic rape has been worse than atrocious. It is used to support continuing war crimes of Isreal. I know most people are offended by any questioning of this. Nevertheless, I hope you have a look at this news broadcast.

As I’ve repeatedly said: anyone involved in the 10/7 attacks must be held accountable. That’s why an independent investigation is looking into such allegations against ~14 of UNRWA’s 13K workers. But we shouldn't punish 2M innocent hungry people for the actions of those ~14.
