@MrsPallone Exactly! So very true.

Using our #morphemes to help us accurately spell words. English is morphing-phonemic, so as teachers we must BOTH instruct at the phoneme level AND morpheme level. @UFLiteracy @goyenfoundation @SoRclassroom

@kellygrillo @smorrisey @goyenfoundation @SoRclassroom @ClassroomWonder Love that!

@smorrisey @kellygrillo @goyenfoundation @SoRclassroom @ClassroomWonder Thank you! And I wholeheartedly agree. It’s such an integral piece.

@kellygrillo @goyenfoundation @SoRclassroom @ClassroomWonder I agree! It’s been a game changer.

@LindsayKemeny @smorrisey @sblackwellslpd @KellyCramerK5 look at this!

Edit: just a reminder that teaching can be messy and isn’t perfect! I feel like I have a decent handle on incorporating morphology but still forget what morphemes I’ve taught and the cards I have 🤪 Don’t expect perfection out of the gate. Your kids will still benefit!

Morphology in 2nd grade for the word DESTRUCTIVE 🪲identify Greek, Latin, or free base 🪲identify prefix 🪲identify suffix @goyenfoundation @SoRclassroom @ClassroomWonder @natwexler

Ever wonder why FEBRUARY is spelled with that silent r? Let my 2nd graders tell you! Connecting MEANING to the spellings of words has been a huge game changer for my class 🧠 #etymology #morphology @goyenfoundation @SoRclassroom @ClassroomWonder @LogicofEnglish @EideDenise

When your students ask, “Mrs. Wiater, let’s quick research the etymology of this word!” 🤗 @goyenfoundation @SoRclassroom @LogicofEnglish @natwexler @ClassroomWonder

Our daily phonemic awareness instruction includes: ✅ blending & segmenting (10 each) ✅ a targeted phoneme ✅ the use of graphemes @MrsPallone explained this so well to @literacypodcast: It’s quick & extremely effective. Also, Go Phils! ⚾️ @goyenfoundation @SoRclassroom

Introducing our next unit with morphology: 🦋introduce word 🦋identify morphemes 🦋discuss morpheme meaning 🦋interleave past learning to better solidify connection to content @goyenfoundation @SoRclassroom @ClassroomWonder @natwexler @EDHirschsays

Morphology and etymology are our jams know 2nd grade! We use both to better understand those phoneme-grapheme correspondences. @goyenfoundation @LogicofEnglish @EideDenise @SoRclassroom

Eng. is morphophonemic: a mix of sound and meaning. LOVED listening to @literacypodcast with @EideDenise 💗 I incorporate some form of morphology/etymology into lessons. Ex: want to know why Wednesday actually follows an etymological pattern!? @goyenfoundation @SoRclassroom

Targeted phonemic awareness: 💙review phoneme and graphemes 💙blending practice 💙segmenting practice 💙discuss vocab (if needed) My entire routine takes only about 4-5 minutes daily @goyenfoundation @SoRclassroom @EideDenise @tools4reading

@MrsPallone @goyenfoundation @SoRclassroom You’re always welcome in A7 😊

@smorrisey @MrsPallone @goyenfoundation @SoRclassroom Thank you so much! That is a HUGE compliment coming from you. I love your vocabulary and morphology content-I’m a big fan!
