The word sums in that video would not be endorsed by SWI practitioners.

I just liked Trumpery because it's already a word — as you know! (Its definition is almost too good to be true.)

It's off(ici)al: February is to be renamed Trumpery.

It's also more understandable when compared with all the forms of "go": going, goes, gone etc. It's not the spelling that's unusual, but the *pronunciation*. We often blame spelling unfairly.

That's why we need to go back to teaching Latin!

Nice thread. My preference with such weird words is to sound them they way they look and then acknowledge the way they are actually pronounced. It's a useful mapping process. Many people will tell you they have learned to say "Wed-ness-day" internally when needing to spell that word.

I think of reading comprehension as language comprehension with an extra step in between (decoding). If language comprehension is taught separately from reading, it seems plausible that this will help reading comprehension when/if written word recognition skills improve.
