Morph Mastery
Published July 2021 by Routledge
Morph Mastery is an accessible, practical guide designed to support learners with specific learning difficulties (SpLD) who are struggling with spelling, reading and vocabulary. It is an effective, research-based and fun solution for when phonics-based teaching has run its course.
Understanding the morphological regularities in English helps to support both spelling and reading comprehension, yet there are few practical interventions that take a morphological approach. Morph Mastery combines this exciting new approach with tried-and-tested teaching methods that work. The activities in this book follow three engaging ninja-like characters, Prefa, Root and Sufa, who represent the three core components of morphology (prefixes, root words and suffixes) and use their sceptres to craft words.
What is Dyslexia & SPLD?
Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty (SPLD). This is an umbrella term that is often used in schools to describe difficulties in certain skills. It is different from General Learning Difficulties, a term used to describe pupils with difficulties in all areas of learning. Many practitioners prefer the term “Specific Learning Difference” because it describes a pattern of strengths and weaknesses; there are often positives from having dyslexia as well as negatives.
Louise’s expertise has been an amazing support to our school. She visited regularly, worked closely with our inclusion team, supported with training, advised on strategies for different pupils and modelled outstanding teaching practice. She fostered such genuine warm relationships with children and was able to closely unpick any barriers to learning and tailor make packages of support to individual needs.
