When Suffixes get to Work
Different suffixes can have different jobs. Identifying them and understanding their purpose is important knowledge for teachers and helps not just with spelling but with grammar and vocabulary. In this course, we take you on a metalanguage joy-ride through the world of suffixes! We will model simple ways we can communicate these complex ideas to students.
This series of online courses is perfect for teachers, interventionists and speech pathologists looking to develop their own spelling content knowledge and learn some explicit instruction routines to confidentially teach students to become fluent writers!
In this series, we will learn about clever planning tricks, key spelling rules, orthographic patterns, morphology, and instructional routines that will make teaching spelling simple yet effective!
