Morph Mastery: A Morphological Intervention for Reading, Spelling and Vocabulary: A Morphological Intervention for Reading, Spelling and Vocabulary

Product Information

Morph Mastery has actually highlighted the gaps in all of the pupils ’ vocabulary and grammatical knowledge as well as spelling.

After a number of years of class-based teaching, support teaching and SENCO experience in primary schools, Louise spent 11 years working for Hertfordshire Local Authority as a specialist advisory teacher for specific learning difficulties across the age ranges.As well as having some fun engaging with the multi-sensory activities in Morph Mastery, you’ll also gain the essential background knowledge and terminology connected with morphology and its use in teaching. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Delegates will have direct access to the event in the ‘My Online Events’ section of their account for two weeks from the payment date, and can watch as any times as they like during that period.

The intervention follows three colour coded ninja-like Morph Master characters; Prefa, Root and Sufa, who represent the three core components of morphology (prefixes, root words and suffixes) and use their sceptres to craft words. However, sometimes, phonic rules don’t help, especially as children progress beyond the very early stages of literacy. This free guide provides teachers with an introduction to morphology, as well as an understanding of why it is so important. The characters that run through the book really facilitate the use of morphology to unlock spelling and reading for learners with SpLD. The conclusion is that reading difficulties often stem from weakness in some areas of language (and not just decoding and phonics difficulties).

With a range of activities and lessons plus materials, Louise Selby's Morp Mastery is an excellent resource for those children who may need to learn the morphology of words rather than phonetic learning. One of the things that has surprised me is that the intervention has supported my learner to develop his vocabulary, not just his spellings.

Understanding the morphological rules in English, and using them to investigate words, helps to support both spelling, reading and vocabulary. to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more. If paying by BACS, delegates will need to give our finance department a day or so to link the payment to the invoice which will activate access. The transition to a morphology-centric approach aids in tackling challenges encountered by dyslexic students, such as the confusion between phonics like 'a' and 'e', or 'ea'.Once you start investigating morphemes and looking at layers of language, exciting connections between words can be made and layers of meaning added, as well as some very interesting conversations. By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions.

Between each session you will have reading and practical tasks set, which you’ll have the opportunity to review during the sessions. You will be familiar with using each element of Morph Mastery, and know how they fit into the lessons. The addition of game-based resources should allow for the reinforcement, repetition and overlearning that so many SpLD learners need to help cement new learning. It combines a morphological approach to words with what we know works for learners with specific learning difficulties; it is multi-sensory, structured, cumulative, with multiple built in opportunities for over-learning. Morph Mastery is an accessible, practical guide designed to support learners with specific learning difficulties (SpLDs) who are struggling with spelling, reading and vocabulary.She holds an OCR Level 7 diploma in teaching and assessing learners with specific learning difficulties and a current Assessors’ Practising Certificate. We already know that poor phonological awareness is often a major stumbling block for many children with reading difficulties, and that phonological awareness can be trained. Morph Mastery is a multi-sensory and engaging way of teaching children aged 9 - 13 to improve their reading, vocabulary and spelling skills. Learners have fun with “word agility” games and “word mastery” investigations of words, as well as other interactive activities in three 30 minute lessons each week.
