Overview
Explicit instruction in morphology is essential for all learners. Teaching morphemes provides students with powerful tools to decode unfamiliar words, improve spelling, and deepen reading comprehension.
This engaging session highlights why morphology deserves a central place in early literacy instruction. Educators will leave with a clear understanding of how morphological awareness can be introduced in meaningful, age-appropriate ways, laying the foundation for confident, capable readers and writers.
