When the teaching of morphology is explicit, students significantly increase their vocabulary and better understand both the structure and spelling of words. They further develop their abilities in both word recognition and reading comprehension. With its engaging topics, authentic reading material, and comprehensive lessons, these kits provide everything you need for cohesive, integrated instruction in morphological awareness.
Indigenous content in Bug Club Morphology - Each kit includes three or more reading passages written by a First Nations, Inuit, and Métis author.
