Spelling Through Morphographs

Age: Grade Levels 4–Adult

Spelling through Morphographs is a remedial program designed to give older students the tools they need to learn to spell.

The program teaches a variety of morphographs—prefixes, suffixes and word bases—and a small set of rules for combining them so that students can learn a spelling strategy they can apply to thousands of words.

Fast-paced, direct instruction lessons and a systematic review of every morphograph, combined with a few simple spelling rules, ensure that students master spelling strategies.

Key Features

• Clearly sequenced instruction, based on reliable rules, enables students to spell thousands of words
• Lessons teach the meanings of common morphemes, to boost vocabulary skills
• A powerful strategy focused on word structures improves students' ability to decode multisyllabic words.
