The English language builds words using speech sounds (phonemes) and units of meaning (morphemes). Teachers need to feel confident teaching phonics and morphology to help students understand the complexities of our language. When students understand morphology, their word identification, reading comprehension, vocabulary, spelling, and written expression improve. This webinar is for teachers in grades 3 and up who want to learn about morphology ranging from the most basic prefixes and suffixes to Latin and Greek combining forms.
Speech Language Pathologists
MindPlay Comprehensive Reading Course
MindPlay’s Comprehensive Reading Course was developed by leading literacy experts to give teachers, special educators, school psychologists, speech-language pathologists, and anyone who wants to expand their knowledge of effective reading and spelling instruction, a strong foundation in reading science.
Linking Assessment to Instruction with a Structured Literacy Approach
This interactive course is designed for educators with a background in Orton-Gillingham or Structured Literacy. In this class, we will explore different profiles of dyslexia together with related conditions, such as ADHD and dysgraphia. We will use our knowledge of structured literacy to analyze what different tests actually measure and how to think beyond test scores and data as a foundation for lesson planning and instruction.
Comprehensive Reading Evaluations
Reading comprehension is not easily quantified, and it can be difficult to separate out the factors that support readers in their efforts to make meaning from text. This workshop will focus on the components of a comprehensive reading evaluation and how a well-designed assessment can provide instructors with targeted instructional responses to student needs.
