  • Phonics Companion

    I lived the episode about the Phonics Companion and would love to get my hands on a copy but it’s not available in the United States. Any ideas? The episode is so worth a listen if you haven’t heard it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lyn Stone: My Thoughts on Morphology
Q: With students with phonological delays, have you found a morphological approach works for them?
Yes, if children have phonological delays, incorporating morphology can still be effective, as teaching them about morphemes can aid in their language development and understanding of words.
Lyn Stone: My Thoughts on Morphology
Q: Can we incorporate morphology instruction outside the English language arts block in our teaching?
Yes, morphology exists in other subjects as well; understanding words and their structures can enhance comprehension across all academic areas.
Lyn Stone: My Thoughts on Morphology
Q: What ways do you think are the most meaningful way that we can help our young learners and individuals who are struggling with learning about morphology?
We can introduce morphemes earlier in literacy education, starting with simple prefixes like re- and un-, to help children recognize word families and meanings from the beginning stages of learning to read.
