Deborah Glaser present: Teaching Morphological Awareness
Morphological awareness has been linked to many reading skills including vocabulary, writing, and comprehension. This research is important to pay attention to, however many teachers are not sure what to do to improve their students’ morphological awareness. This workshop will provide a crash course in morphology and present several techniques to help teachers establish routines of instruction. Syllable instruction will also be addressed as well as systematic and explicit lesson elements of word analysis for intermediate and secondary students. Learn how to teach morphological awareness while strengthening your own!
