My goal is to engage Pierce with higher level activities. To this end, I introduced morphology (the study of word parts, or morphemes).The study of morphology greatly increases a student's vocabulary as it improves spelling. I taught the Latin prefix un, the Latin root cept, and the suffix s. We brainstormed example words. Next, I let Pierce choose a book from a selection of different genres. He chose a book about Jackie Robinson. We watched a five minute BrainPop video to introduce the topic, and then co-read the book, pausing to discuss the challenging concept of segregation. Next, I re-taught soft c and soft g. We played a game of Phonics Dice to reinforce the concept, and I dictated example words. Pierce demonstrated mastery of the concept.
