Spelling Through Morphographs

Spelling Through Morphographs providesa set of principles that deal with the structureof words.

We call these principles morphographicanalysis. Teaching spelling usingmorphographs is most efficient formultisyllabic words that typically do not lendthemselves to phonemic spelling. It is highlyeffective with older students, including thosein middle school and high school.

Take an innovative, research-provenapproach to spelling instruction

Spelling Mastery

• Teaches a sound-symbol strategy for spelling simple, regularly spelled words

• Teaches the spelling of a set of high-frequency, irregularly spelled words

• Expands the sound-symbol strategy to more difficult, regularly spelled words

• Increases the number of irregularly spelled words that students spell

• Makes the transition from the phonemic approach to the morphemic approach

• Teaches a small number of key structural spelling rules

• Expands students’ morphemic strategies by introducing non-word bases

• Teaches an additional set of spelling rules that address multisyllabic words

• Emphasizes useful non-word bases

• Expands on morphemic principles taught in Levels C and D

• Presents information about international spellings and the history of unusualspellings

• Acquaints students with the interrelationships of spelling, vocabulary,etymology, usage, and syntax

Spelling Through MorphographsGrade Levels 4–Adult

With Spelling Through Morphographs, fast-pacedlessons and a systematic review of everymorphograph, combined with a few simple spellingrules, ensure that students master the skills neededto spell over 12,000 words.

20-25 minutes per lesson

Can be taught to small groups or an entire class

Effective with a wide range of learners who havemastered phonemic spelling

Works with adults with poor spelling skills

Carefully balanced lessons enable teachers to reinforce good spelling habits and techniques

Spelling Mastery

Spelling Mastery interweaves three spelling strategies according to students’ skill development—phonemic for beginning spellers, then morphographic for advanced spellers learning to spell multisyllabicwords. At all levels an intensive whole-word approach is used to teach common words that cannot betaught with phonemic or morphographic strategies.

Program Highlights

SRA/McGraw Hill’s Direct Instructionis an explicit, intensive, teacher-directed method of teaching. Everyaspect of the Direct Instructionapproach to teaching is derived fromthese guiding philosophies:

Because these highly scripted presentations area proven strategic approach to spelling, SpellingMastery and Spelling Through Morphographs arefar more successful than the rote memorization ofthe “spell with words on Friday” approach.

Teachers using this proven approach create “foreverspellers” and give students confidence in learninghow to spell and remember new words.

Teacher Presentation Books contain active, ready-to-go lessons that make the teacher the expert.Teachers present each exercise, listen to studentresponses, then provide immediate feedback.

Each lesson takes a small step toward proficiency,building on and repeating essential principles tofoster long-term retention and understanding ofspelling rules. Following a logical instructionsequence, teachers will:

Introduce new sound-spelling relationships,morphographs, rules, and principles

Integrate new concepts seamlessly andcumulatively, with all strategies used and practicedover time

This unique combination of approaches helpsstudents learn more quickly and retain what they’velearned for the long term. By using proven learningtechniques, teachers give students tools they canuse independently to learn new and unfamiliar wordsand to apply what they’ve learned to their writing.

Phonemic approach speeds early learningPhonemic spelling is based on sound-symbolrelationships.

This approach enables teachers to guide beginningspellers with generalizations for spelling many wordsand word parts. For example, “The sound /m/ isspelled with the letter m, /a/ with a, and /n/ withn. Man, therefore, is spelled m-a-n.”

The advantage for students is they can apply thesegeneralizations to many words with regular spellingand predictable, stable elements.

Best used at an early level, the phonemic approachis emphasized in Spelling Mastery Levels A and B,where it facilitates far more rapid learning in youngerstudents than a word-by-word approach based onmemorization.

The SRA Direct Instruction spelling programs allowteachers to introduce students to basic spellingrelationships, patterns, and rules. Students learnto spell more words, more quickly, and moreefficiently than is possible through rotememorization.

Three research-proven spelling strategies introducestudents to principles they can apply to spellingnew words:

Phonemic

Morphemic

Whole-word

Whole-word approach provides instruction forirregular spellingsSome words with irregular spelling cannot be taughtusing either the phonemic or morphemic approaches.

The whole-word approach teaches these common,irregularly spelled words using memorizationtechniques and drills to help students learn thespelling of high-frequency words they use in writing.

Morphemic approach encourages students tothink their way to spelling achievementThe morphemic approach teaches students to spellmorphographs, or bases and affixes, and to putthem together to form words.

Because a small number of morphographs can becombined to form thousands of words, students canlearn to spell a far larger set of words usingmorphographic analysis than they can by learningindividual words.

Teaching spelling using morphographs is mostefficient for multisyllabic words that typically donot lend themselves to phonemic spelling. Whilethis approach is used in both programs, it is mosteffective with older students, including those inmiddle school and high school with poor spellingskills.

Spelling Through Morphographs exclusively usesthe morphemic approach to assist these studentsin developing and refining their spelling skills.
