Spelling Through Morphographs is a one-year program designed to teach spelling to older students (4th grade and older). Students learn that words are composed of morphographs, which are roughly prefixes, suffixes, and bases or roots. The program presents rules for combining the morphographs and provides extensive practice in applying these rules. The program employs specific strategies that encourage students to think their way through spelling rather than memorizing weekly word lists. These strategies, combined with repeated practice and application, enable students to spell unfamiliar words and to remember familiar words more successfully than they would by using other methods.
Upon completion of the program, students will have learned 750 morphographs and be able to spell between 12,000 and 15,000 words, including most words on the complete Dolch word list and words most commonly misspelled in high school and college. The program can be used with students in general education and with students with disabilities or English language learners. The more at-risk students will likely need additional practice.
