Once the basic phoneme (speech sounds) are mapped to common spellings, students improve reading automaticity by learning to recognize common syllables by sight. Additionally, knowing the rules for syllable division helps students read words with greater accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClick \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/blog.penningtonpublishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Syllables-and-Morphology-Preview.pdf\"\u003eHERE\u003c\/a\u003e to preview these lessons.\u003c\/strong\u003e Note these lessons are included in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/penningtonpublishing.com\/collections\/reading\/products\/the-science-of-reading-intervention-program-assessment-based-instruction\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Science of Reading Intervention Program: Assessment-Based Instruction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, studying the meanings of syllables (morphemes) is also essential. In a nutshell, a \u003cspan\u003emorpheme \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis defined as a meaningful word or word part which cannot be divided. There are two types of morphemes: free and bound. A free base is a morpheme that stands on its own as a word, for example, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eview. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA bound base is a morpheme that cannot stand on its own as a word, for example, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003evis. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePrefixes and suffixes are bound morphemes, for example, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epre \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ein \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epreview \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eit \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ein \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003evisit, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand so must be connected to free or bound bases.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecent studies have demonstrated that morphological awareness has a significant impact on reading ability (Gottardo, Mirza, Koh, Ferreira, and Javier, 2018; \u003cspan\u003eZhang and Ke, 2020).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdditionally, lack of morphological awareness is highly correlated with reading difficulties and seems to be related to both word recognition and language comprehension (Duke and Cartwright, 2021).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the following lessons, students will learn the key syllable patterns and how they affect syllable division and recognition. The teacher teaches the pattern and helps students blend multi-syllabic words, syllable by syllable. Students practice using the pattern and syllable division with a worksheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, these worksheets will introduce students to derivational influences and patterns in our language. Students will learn and practice vowel and consonant shifts and accent shifts as one word \u003cspan\u003emorphs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e into another related word. For example, students will analyze word cousins such as méd\/ic, méd\/i\/cal, méd\/i\/cine, me\/dí\/ci\/nal, me\/di\/cá\/tion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach lesson also includes a \u003cstrong\u003eStructured Word Inquiry\u003c\/strong\u003e exercise to build words from one of the lesson’s bound bases. The teacher displays the Structured Word Inquiry box on the whiteboard, which includes the bound base and definition. Students brainstorm prefixes, suffixes, and other bound bases from the Word Part Bank to add to the bound base, and the teacher writes these on the whiteboard. Students say each newly constructed word in unison, and the teacher asks the students to provide sentences using the word.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLessons include the following syllable patterns:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Open\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Silent final e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Vowel teams\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e r-controlled\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Double consonants\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Inflected endings\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Schwa\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Consonant-le\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Vowel pronunciation shifts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Consonant pronunciation shifts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Accent shifts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Prefixes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Suffixes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pennington Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42470171214017,"sku":"","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1033\/1985\/files\/syllmorph_v5max.png?v=1787591842","url":"https:\/\/penningtonpublishing.com\/products\/syllables-and-morphology","provider":"Pennington Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
