About
Morphology Anthology
The Morphology Anthology Chronicles uses structured literacy lessons and content-area passages to teach common morphological patterns. Each chronicle is thematic, and student passages offer a variety of information related to the chosen topic. Just as the base of the word serves as a launching point for linguistic knowledge, the Morphology Anthology series propels students through reading achievement in upper-elementary school.
Morphology Anthology lessons support the development of literacy skills through a set of 10 different instructional activities that systematically and cohesively prepare students to successfully read the accompanying passage. Activities build a range of skills that contribute to reading accuracy and fluency by developing phonics, morphology, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, and spelling skills.
*A student reader is included with each manual purchase.

Morphology serves as the linguistic focus of the Morphology Anthology lessons because of the important role it plays in both the comprehension and word recognition of English texts. As a morphophonemic spelling system, English word patterns are influenced by both word meaning (morpheme) and pronunciation (phoneme). Instruction in the components of morphology, notably morphemes (the smallest unit of meaning in a word) is a promising pathway to increasing students’ reading accuracy, fluency and comprehension.
Morphemes were chosen based on how frequently they occur in written text. You can view the scope and sequence of each volume in the images above.
