Why Morphology?

Morphology is the study of words and their parts. Morphemes - Greek and Latin roots, prefixes and suffixes, and base words - are the smallest units of meaning. A strong understanding of morphology helps students with phonics, vocabulary, and comprehension. Morphology word study and vocabulary instruction unlocks the structures and meanings within words.
