Great article by @buckingham_j fivefromfive.com.au/blog/dont-disc…





Looking at how words containing a shared base change as other morphemes are added/removed will not only solidify core spelling patterns but also draw attention to how the phonological aspects of a word can change even when the spelling remains constant within these word families.








@SCESCLiteracy @eeharrington4 You can group anything in a cell that can work across that row. For example, here, I do NOT group <ion> and <ive> because *activeable and *actionly are nor possible words. But the connecting <u> can serve the words actual, actually, actuary, and actuate, so I group accordingly.



I’d love to hear if anyone else has any ‘go-to’ spelling activities they feel help children to consider the both the phonology and morphology of words!
