Iowa IDA Branch Presents: Designing Engaging & Effective Morphology Lessons Grades 4-8, taught by Mary McFarlin

As students move beyond the primary grades, they encounter increasingly complex multisyllabic words and academic vocabulary across the curriculum. Explicit morphology instruction can help students recognize meaningful word parts, build connections among related words, and strengthen word reading, spelling, vocabulary, and comprehension. In this practical session, participants will explore the research supporting explicit morphology instruction and learn how to design engaging lessons that integrate morphology with phonology, orthography, semantics, and syntax. Participants will examine how to select high-utility morphemes and words for instruction and use a clear, repeatable instructional routine that moves from introducing a morpheme and its meaning to analyzing and building words, exploring word families, and applying new learning in context.
