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

These are video lessons for teaching literacy based on the science of reading.

You'll need: a whiteboard and a dry erase marker - or a virtual whiteboard (E.g., Figjam) if teaching online.

Be sure to go through the lessons in order and do not skip the introduction lessons.

This resource provides a structured approach to teaching vocabulary through understanding word parts.

The resource covers:
*Introduction: Differentiates between active and passive vocabulary, discusses motivation for teaching morphology, and explains terminology.
*First Level Morphology: Focuses on Anglo-Saxon base words, affixes, and parts of speech.
*Second Level Morphology: Explores Latin bases, affixes, lesson elements, and distinctions between suffixes and final stable syllables.
*Advanced Elements: Introduces Greek templates, combining forms, and assimilated prefixes.

This resource aims to enhance vocabulary acquisition by dissecting word structures and origins, offering both foundational and advanced strategies for educators.

"This is a comprehensive guide for morphology instruction – it explains the layers of the English language, walks through a suggested sequence of instruction, and includes sample lesson templates complete with word sums and matrices." - 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.

Students build a world of their own by answering curriculum aligned questions covering thousands of skill strands. Reading, writing, rhyming and phonetics are included.

Educators get free full access. Parents can work collaboratively with their child's teacher for access or purchase home memberships.

Have you ever had a student who reads out loud beautifully, but struggles to understand the meaning behind what they just read?

Science of Reading research has uncovered key insights that help explain this behavior, and can help your students bridge the gap between decoding and comprehension.

Download the free infographic to understand the missing link in reading comprehension and learn how to incorporate comprehension processes practice into your instruction.

Download the free infographic and you will learn:

Why students may struggle with language comprehension.
Why mental modeling is key to understanding text.
Types of comprehension processes and how to practice them in the classroom.

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.

Word Connections is a supplemental reading intervention program.

It includes 40 lessons (40 min each), divided into four units of instruction.

Developed for students in third grade and above who continue to experience challenges with word reading even though they have developed foundational decoding skills.

The lessons focus on promoting automaticity with reading “big words.”

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.
