Improving Morphemic Awareness Skills in Struggling Readers of All Ages (author Sandra Donah)
Morphemic Awareness is an understanding and recognition of the morphological units within words, including prefixes, roots, combining forms, and suffixes. The activities in this book have been written for teachers and tutors to use in their study of advanced language lessons. These activities serve as a useful alternative to the phonemic awareness element of the lesson when you are working with advanced students. Once you have taught a root or combining form, you can use these activities to manipulate the units using felt squares.

Improving Phonemic Awareness Skills for Struggling Readers of All Ages (author Sandra Donah)
One of the basic components of good reading is the developing of phonological awareness skills. Unfortunately, children who struggle with reading often lack this important building block. This book is divided into three parts: Beginning, Intermediate, and Challenging Phonemic Awareness Lessons. There are 150 lessons in the book, and each lesson takes about five to seven minutes. The lessons can occur during a one-to-one lesson, in a small group, or in a game format for the whole class. B009 Improving Phonemic Awareness Skills for Struggling Readers of All Ages $35.00 |
