Morphology And Affixes Case Study

Improved Essays
1. At approximately what grade level should instruction in morphology and affixes begins? Explain why.
The instruction of morphology and affixes should begin at approximately on second or third grade and beyond because students should have the awareness of word parts, root words, and affixes to read long words. Also, the older student will rely on morphology instead of using phonemic awareness to read long words. The student also should have relatively stronger sight word knowledge to learn the morphology. They should have a general vocabulary knowledge and decoding ability to gain the knowledge in morphology and affixes and this knowledge increase from third grade to high school. They also have to have the knowledge of phonics instruction.

    The teacher may ask students questions while listening to them read as long as they are kept to a minimum. To emphasize the “bl” blend, “th” digraph, and their sound, each student will press their tongue on the roof of the mouth and hold the “bl” blend words for two seconds before moving on. The student will do the same thing for the “th” blend words except they will stick their tongue out, pinched between their teeth. The teacher will listen to each student individually for both the “bl” blend and “th” digraph. The teacher will make notes of each student’s sound correspondence to both the “bl” blend and “th” digraph.…

    Two examples of other informal reading assessments are the Phonics Mastery Survey and Phonemic Awareness Assessments. The Phonics Mastery Survey is an informal tool for assessing various phonics elements. This assessment measures a student’s ability to recognize consonant sounds, rhyming words, consonant digraphs, long vowel sounds, words with CVC patterns, consonant blends, variant vowel sounds, and syllables in words (DeVries 2011 p.112). A student’s ability to use knowledge of sound/letter correspondences to decode words, determines his or her ability to read individual words. Knowing the skills that the students possess will assist the teacher in selecting reading tasks that offer the most effective reinforcement of those phonics skills.…

    This pre-alphabetic stage allows the reader to associate words by symbols with no regards for the alphabetic letters or sounds that make up the word. This stage is followed by the partial alphabetic stage at which the reader will recognize the relationship between letters and sounds and will focus on the easiest segment of the word to identify. Partial alphabetic stage becomes a gateway to letter recognition, sound blending, and pronunciation as students embrace the stage of full alphabetic recognition. As the level of recognition increases through repeated reading, students will soon enter the final stage of consolidated alphabetic recognition. This stage is developed through the use of repeated reading and recognition of patterns, as the information is stored in an instant memory…

    Comparative Morphology

    • 1642 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Comparative morphology is the study of the anatomical patterns of structures within an organism’s body and how it allows the taxonomical categorization of a species. The anatomy of an organism is significant to the functions of that particular body part of the organism (Kardong, 2015). To be able to compare the structures of an organism allows emphasis in particular themes of the vertebrae structures. The functional morphology of an organism includes the study of the relationships between particular structures of that organism’s bodily functions. Because form follows function, the function of an organ, tissue, or body part dictates its form (Kardong, 2015).…

    Phonological Awareness

    It is vital that children learn how to read, in order for them to become productive citizens. Reutzel and Cooter (2013, p. 7) assert that it is impossible for a person to live a productive, happy and healthy life without the ability to read. Reading is defined by Mesmer and Griffith (2005-06, p. 367) as the ability to recognise words and understand the meaning of both individual words, and the sentences they form, thereby drawing meaning from text. However, Reutzel and Cooter (2013, p. 9) argue that, with the introduction of technology, reading has become a multifaceted ability which requires the learning of a complex set of skills, concepts and knowledge which enable a person to understand text presented both on paper and in various digital…

    The first phase of sight word development consists of the pre-alphabetic phase. Ehri (1995) stated that during this phase, "beginners remember how to read words by forming connections between selected visual attributes of words and their pronunciations or meanings and storing these associations in memory" (p. 118). Children at this phase have not advanced any alphabet knowledge. Instead, children can read sight words by memorizing the visual signals around or in the word (Gaskin, Ehri, Cress, O'Hara & Donnelly, 1997). 2.6.2 Partial Alphabetic Phase…

    In 1988 Japan’s Ministry of Education issued a new set of Kanji and urged that the Kanji that is more closely related to child’s life and those that are easier to remember should be learned earlier (NLRI, 1972, as cited in Akamatsu, 1998, p. 12). This means, the focus of learning the native written language changes as children develop and mature. The Ministry of Education also provides a brief guideline of Kanji instruction for each grade. For example, first graders tend to ignore the ideographic nature of Kanji, so the instruction focuses on helping the children understand that Kanji characters are not only pictographs, but also ideographs. Subsequent grades transition into focusing on reading, all the while building vocabulary.…
