My Project

This project aims to develop and implement engaging lessons focused on morphological awareness to enhance students' understanding of word structure and meaning. Through quick 10 minute lessons students will delve into the smallest units of meaning—morphemes— building essential skills for reading, spelling, vocabulary growth, and grammatical understanding.

Morphological awareness is crucial for students in grades 3 to 5 as it significantly enhances their reading and writing skills.

By understanding morphemes students can improve vocabulary acquisition, decode unfamiliar words more easily, and apply consistent spelling patterns. This awareness also supports writing development by helping students construct more complex words and apply grammatical rules accurately. Additionally, morphological knowledge aids in reading comprehension by enabling students to analyze and infer meanings of words based on their components, fostering both cognitive and linguistic growth.

We currently lack a systematic and explicit way of teaching morphological awareness to our third through fifth grade students. These Morpheme Magic Sets will provides us with the necessary resources for instruction that will enhance our students' overall literacy abilities.
