Meaningful Morphology
English is a morphophonemic language. This means students need both phonemic awareness and morphological awareness in order to read and spell accurately and efficiently. Knowledge of morphemes, the smallest units of meaning within words, provides insight into both the meaning and spelling of words. Participants will deepen their knowledge of morphology while also learning key features of morphological instruction in the classroom.
