We had fun today focusing on helping Ss find words in a morphological family -starting with simple examples then increasing in complexity. Does pronunciation determine related words eg the ‘arch’-like a bow-family: archway, archbishop, archery, archenemy, architect? #wordinquiry

If you'd like to be guided through a #wordinquiry planning process and come away with some lessons and materials focused on either a key word (great for UOI or SS/Sc vocabulary) or a grapheme set, then join this resource development workshop. https://t.co/srcqXlehCX
