In Beneath the Surface of Words, author Sue Scibetta Hegland aims to convince readers that English spelling isn\u2019t as unreliable or quirky as they may have believed\u2026and argues an excellent case. For example: there\u2019s actually a reason for the L in talk! Written in an engaging voice, this is an excellent title for building educator knowledge to support instruction in spelling, particularly related to morphology and etymology, with connections to vocabulary as well. Helpful appendices, for example, \u201cApplying Suffixing Conventions\u201d and \u201cWorking With Word Sums and Evidence Banks\u201d are also included. Reading Beneath the Surface of Words is like taking a crash course in the complexities and rationale of the English writing system and is recommended for all literacy educators.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
