This has everything you need to get started teaching morphology!

"This resource is designed for teachers and students with limited experience with advanced phonics instruction. It provides an accelerated scope and sequence of syllable types and common prefixes, suffixes, and root words. The lessons include detailed descriptions, visual examples, and practice pages.

This resource will help educators teach the understanding that words consist of bases that convey meaning and that can be modified with affixes (prefixes and suffixes) to change the word's meaning. It explains how to apply their morphological knowledge to spell and read longer and more complex words." - ONLit

This short recorded webinar explains what morphology is and how we can infuse these strategies into our classrooms to support reading, specifically word solving.

"The activities are designed for students to practice, demonstrate, and extend their learning of what has already been taught, sometimes with teacher assistance and sometimes independently. Students can complete the activities in small groups, pairs, or individually.

Accompanying these Student Center Activities is a Teacher Resource Guide that offers important insights on differentiated instruction and how to use the Student Center materials."

Activities for: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension

Familiarity with Greek and Latin roots, as well as prefixes and suffixes, can help students understand the meaning of new words. This article includes many of the most common examples.

Included in the article are downloads of Common Latin Roots chart, Common Greek Roots chart, Common Prefixes chart, Common Suffixes chart.

An overview of how our brains learn to read and the connection to morphology. This resource contains a short webinar outlining the background of morphology and strategies for the classroom.

There are great tutorials here to support teachers on using a variety of activities from UFLI, including:

*Word Work Mats

*Phoneme & Grapheme Activities (blending, elkonin boxes, manipulative letters, counting bead string, say it-move it, sorting game)

*Decoding & Encoding (morpheme trees, syllable types, heart words, word chains, practice)

Using morphology as the framework to teach students how to learn the meaning of words that are new or unfamiliar to them.

In 2022, two collaborative groups of Australian educators formed to create Syntax & Punctuation and Morphology resources.

These resources are available for free to promote a culture of sharing and collaboration amongst schools.

The lessons can be edited and adapted to reflect the topics & curriculum content taught in your classroom.

You must sign up for an account to access the resources.

*These activities also align with The Writing Revolution!
