I’m. Obsessed. This text should be in every teacher’s hand. Quick, direct, explicit…so good. Thank you @MrZachG 🤗

As teachers prepare for back to school, now is the perfect time to brush up on ONE of the many strands of the reading process! I have updated my Reading Rope of Resources to align with each strand of Scarborough’s Reading Rope (2001), acting as a visual reminder that there is

👏

An important point about dosage, from @DTWillingham:

Why hasn’t KNOWLEDGE BUILDING CURRICULUM received as much traction or publicity as phonics? Read on to find out some great arguments Natalie Wexler makes in her new book! #knowledgematters #knowledgebuildingcurriculum #curriculummatters https://t.co/T7qvWEGXNA

I will continue to shout this from the rooftops: it all comes down to providing our Ss w/ knowledge! It is VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE to teach critical thinking skills w/o KNOWLEDGE This book is gold. Thank you @natwexler for sharing your expertise 💗 @SoRclassroom @KnowledgeMatrs

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

Steps 1-3 of our vocab. routine for the word AGGRESSIVE with our new suffix: 🐜intro word 🐜kid friendly def. 🐜morphology Then: 🐜sentence 🐜ex and non ex 🐜Ss use in a sentence @goyenfoundation @SoRclassroom @ClassroomWonder

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!

That moment when your students ASK you to teach them a new morpheme 🤗 Changing my teaching to reflect the science of reading was the single BEST decision I have ever made as an educator 💗 @goyenfoundation @SoRclassroom

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

We get a bit excited when we use our new morphology wall! This has been a HUGE game changer during lessons. Thx again for the push @MrsPallone! ✅segment phonemes ✅match graphemes ✅identify morphemes ✅note spelling and articulation changes @goyenfoundation @SoRclassroom
