ALTA Great Lakes presents:

Making Morphology Make Sense

with Sue Hegland

$25 Members | $35 Non-Members | 1.5 CEs

Morphology is a hot topic these days, and there are good reasons for the increasing focus on this important component of Structured Literacy teaching. Morphological study builds vocabulary, deepens comprehension, and allows teachers and students to make sense of many otherwise puzzling aspects of English spelling. 

Because morphology is of such great interest, many resources are being developed to support practitioners. We can make these resources even more useful by knowing how to validate, organize, and expand them. This presentation will discuss several key concepts and some essential tools that will allow you to work with prepared morphological resources more confidently and effectively.
