Part of The Morphology Kit® Professional Learning Series, in this webinar you'll learn how explicit, systematic suffix instruction strengthens students' word recognition, spelling accuracy, vocabulary, comprehension, and written language while reinforcing the connections among phonology, orthography, morphology, syntax, and semantics.
Through lesson demonstrations, engaging instructional routines, and practical applications, you'll discover how to teach high-utility suffixes and suffix conventions within a structured literacy framework. Participants will leave with research-informed strategies they can immediately apply in the classroom.
