Morphology instruction is not just for the older learner. In fact, it can begin earlier than you might think! It might not be as complex as instruction for an older student, but it can be effective. Understanding all components of language, including syllables and morphemes, will only enhance learning for our students. Morphology can be a powerful tool for increasing understanding and for word building!

In this session, participants will review the concepts of morphology and how to teach them appropriately for elementary-age learners. Lesson samples and introductions will be discussed, and opportunities to see instructional routines for presenting new suffixes, prefixes, and beginning roots will be modeled.

Ample review and opportunities for application are important for the study of morphology. How do we layer this review into our Orton-Gillingham and literacy lessons? Suggestions for implementation will be included. See how using the meaningful units of our language is one more tool in our instructional toolbox.

Session notes and classroom samples will be provided.

A certificate of attendance will be provided and can be used for OGA and ALTA CEU credit.

This is a pre-approved ALTA event.
