Don't we LOVE those precious teachable moments that crop up during our teaching day? Knowing morphemes (word parts) will help you seize many more of those teachable moments. See how many you know. (This is just a sampling of 25 of 110 highly interchangeable word parts.)
How did you do?
If you did not do well, I suggest that you are missing many impromptu teaching opportunities. I can tell you from experience that knowing highly interchangeable morphemes will help YOU be a better teacher and will help your STUDENTS be better and faster learners!
I once read, "Why teach thousands of individual words, when you can teach their interchangeable word parts?" That made a lot of sense to me. So, why don't you and your students learn these interchangeable word parts together? It will help YOU be a better teacher and will expand your students' vocabulary by literally thousands of words, helping them become INDEPENDENT LEARNERS. The great thing is, all the work has been done for you in a great unit of study called, Word Analysis: Unlocking the Meaning of Words. It covers 110 morphemes and includes activities, tests, and plenty of review. You can even get electronic Flashcards for practice. This unit of study (which takes only minutes a day for about 10 weeks) will have a huge impact on your students' learning FOREVER in ALL subjects and will enhance YOUR teaching FOREVER! After learning even the first few sets, you will never think of words the same again (and either will your students).
