SUMMARY:Morphology Part 1 (Online)
DESCRIPTION:This interactive 1.5-hour virtual workshop invites educators to delve into the role of morphology in unlocking students’ spelling and vocabulary potential. Participants will examine how morphological instruction can enhance students’ comprehension of word structure\, enabling them to make sense of complex words more effectively. \nPart 1 of a 2 part series\, introduces a dynamic\, inquiry-based approach—Structured Word Inquiry (SWI)—to guide students in analyzing the relationships between word meanings\, spellings\, sounds\, and etymology. Educators will also explore practical tools and strategies for conducting morphological investigations\, empowering students to identify patterns across word families and deepen their understanding of affixes and Latin bases. \n* This is Part 1 of a 2 part series. Optional Part 2 will take place on Thursday\, March 27\, 2025. \nAudience: Elementary literacy teachers\, middle school literacy teachers\, instructional coaches\, literacy coachesLength: 1.5 hoursPresenter: Meghan Sanchez \nOutcomes\n\nRecognize how morphology instruction can improve students’ spelling\, vocabulary\, and understanding of the English language\nUnderstand the 4 steps of Structured Word Inquiry\, an inquiry-based framework that helps students explore the semantics\, orthography\, phonology\, and etymology of various words\nPractice using morphological tools and routines to help students understand the meanings of various affixes and bases\n\nTopics\n\nWhat is morphology?\n4 Steps of SWI\nTools of SWI: Word Web\, Word Sums\, Word Matrices\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Teacher Bio\nMeghan Sanchez is a Teacher Training Consultant with Chartwell Teaching Institute (CTI).
