WHAT IS
MORPHOLOGY?
![Page 3: More than Memorizing: Using Morphology to Teach Roots & Affixes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062302/568163d3550346895dd51d82/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
“Students’ understanding of morphology is a better predictor of reading comprehension than vocabulary level.”
(Kieffer & Lesaux, 2007)
![Page 4: More than Memorizing: Using Morphology to Teach Roots & Affixes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062302/568163d3550346895dd51d82/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
TODAY’S GOALS Understand how to use morphological analysis as a
framework for root word and affix instruction
Practice a sequence of sorts that can be used to introduce students to the structure of words and their parts
Acquire a routine for teaching the definitions of roots and affixes
Create a list of word parts for your department to teach that is vertically aligned across grade levels

Principle #1
Students need to know about the
etymology of words.
![Page 6: More than Memorizing: Using Morphology to Teach Roots & Affixes](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062302/568163d3550346895dd51d82/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Borrowed Words
and Cognates Sort

Principle #2
Students need to identify the base
of words.

Principle #3
Students need to know how to identify the parts of words.

Affixes Foldable

Principle #4
Students need to know how to dissect the parts of words.

Principle #6
Students need to combine morphemic
elements while focusing word
meaning.

Meaningful Affixes

Tips for Using Stations and Sorts
• Number or color code materials for each group• Keep loose sorts in envelopes; avoid clips and
rubber bands• Group sorts can be done on the floor (or use
trays)• Have everything cut and prepared beforehand• Timers are your friend (
http://www.online-stopwatch.com)• Assign group roles• Directions and modeling are key• Bold or color code heading for sorts

What’s next?• Word harvesting using word walls and word hunts• Vocabulary journals• Word ladders• Word trees• Word webs• Word a week• Daily word routine

Balance memorizing with morphemic
analysis

5 Day Routine for Teaching Roots
Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5
Introduce the word part (root or affix)
Practice with words in sentences, analogies, etc. that help students make meaning of the root
Read texts that contain the root word being studied
Deep exploration through additional activities
Reinforce learning with games
Assessment

Which words
should I teach?

Why is teaching roots and affixes
more than memorization?
