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


Book Description

Morph Mastery is an accessible, practical guide designed to support learners with specific learning difficulties (SpLD) who are struggling with spelling, reading and vocabulary. It is an effective, research-based and fun solution for when phonics-based teaching has run its course.

Morph Mastery combines this exciting new approach with tried-and-tested teaching methods that work. The activities in this book follow three engaging ninja-like 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. Key features include: • Exciting and engaging activities and games, designed to be used by individuals or small groups • Detailed, curriculum-linked assessments, enabling specific target setting • Photocopiable and downloadable activity sheets and resources Written in a user-friendly tone, for teaching assistants, teachers and other professionals with little or no specialist knowledge, this book is a must for any school with struggling readers and writers aged 9–13.
