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.…

    Comparative Morphology

    • 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).…

    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…

It is separated into three Tiers to separate student’s abilities so that the teacher is capable of accommodating her student's needs. Tier 1 focuses on developing the students reading abilities and preventing learning problems. Tier 2 focuses on struggling readers and extending the instruction to help the students reach grade level as soon as possible. Tier 3 is referred to as more intense instruction, and depending on the child’s improvement, it may result in the diagnosis of a reading disability.…

    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…

    Once pupils understand the nature of Kanji, they are taught its history and how Kanji characters have been changing orthographically and phonologically over time (Sato, 1988, as cited in Akamatsu, 1988, p. 13). In Junior High school, the emphasis changes to other subjects. However the systematic learning continues until high school where Kanji is supplemented with learning is academic language, introduced through other subjects.

    When thinking of a tree, it is easy to imagine a strong plant, established firmly into the soil, with a thick substantial trunk and vast outreaching branches. However, what does not typically come to mind is a scrawny seedling, with its new roots hardly ingrained into the soil. One with a toothpick of a trunk that is struggling to support itself. The fact of the matter is that every tremendous tree started as a measly sapling, but not every sapling is able to grow into a tree. The forest can be a brutal place, exposing its inhabitants to all of the outside elements.…
