MORPHOLOGY
Love Literacy Mount Maunganui
Heather Down from Love Literacy in Mount Maunganui has generously created and shared a range of free morphology resources for teachers, tutors and parents. These practical resources are designed to support the teaching of morphology and help students explore how words are built, their meaning, and the connections between related words.
A big thank you to Heather for making these resources freely available for others to use and enjoy.
Morphology Basics by Claire Knight
The book begins with a general outline of morphology and its implications for aching, establishing the foundation of knowledge teachers need. It then sets out more specific evidence-based information and ideas for teaching the most common prefixes, suffixes, and Latin and Greek roots. The numerous student activities are easy to implement and, along with the templates provided, open the way to further discussion and exploration of the world of morphology to support literacy learning.
I have not had time to fully review this resource, but I have completed one of Claire Knights Morphology workshops and she has extensive knowledge on Strauctured Literacy and working with dyslexic students.
