To go from a printed to a spoken word (reading) or from a spoken to a written word (spelling), readers must be aware of the speech sounds that letters and letter combinations represent. (Moats, 2010).

The term morphology is Greek and is a makeup of morph- meaning 'shape, form', and -ology which means 'the study of something'.]]> 2023-06-07 17:19:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jennyryt/clfe4fm5489z73e2/wish/2617354859 Examples of Morphology jennyryt https://padlet.com/jennyryt/clfe4fm5489z73e2/wish/2617359016 Dis + please = Displease

    • Scrabble
    • Pictionary
    • Charades
    This supports development of language structure because it provides fun ways to write words and match them to spoken words. It also helps identify word meaning within the games and how to spell/read the words.

    How to differentiate these games for ELL students
    • Scrabble
      • Use word banks for spelling assistance
    • Pictionary
      • Have the word they need to draw be spoken to them via technology or whispered from the teacher
    • Charades
      • Have the student choose the word themselves, rather than a list of words the student many have difficult reading.

    This helps language structure because it is a fun way to use words in relation to ideas or imagining scenes or imaginary situations. The teacher should read or say the riddles aloud and clarify if there is any misunderstandings. (i.e - school of fish is just a group of fish.) This will help them understand the riddle better.

    This can be differentiated for EL students by providing clues since riddles can have a cultural undertone it is important to leave those riddles out and chose basic mainstream riddles all students can understand. 
    Start with more simple riddles and have them available as an audio read via online platform (google classroom) then students can have it read to them as many times as they need.

    • Songs in the classroom help students learn new words and allow students a sense of rhythm and rhyme so the words stick and they can sing along. This enhances engagement and allow for more fun games along with the song for future lessons.

    A way to modify this for EL students is to allow every day access to the songs. I would post this to an online platform (such as google classroom) where they have access at home and at school. This way they can listen to the songs as many times as they enjoy.

    • Tongue twisters help students pronounce words correctly and understand enunciation of words. They can train their tongue to pronounce words or phrases. 
    • This may be a challenge for some students but with practice they will get better.
    A way to differentiate this for EL students is to start with simple tongue twisters that you can associate pictures with. An example would be "Shelly sells sea shells at the sea shore". The teacher would display a picture of shelly selling sea shells on the shore of a beach. This helps the student visualize what the tongue twisters meaning is.
    • It is a fun way to train their tongue to pronounce words. Start with simple ones and work your way up.

    Put parts of a words into a hat and have students pick from the hat each word part. Allow for all students to make a word if they are partnered correctly (for an example a student may pick "-dis" another student may pick "-engage" and another student may pick "-ment".) Have the student write down the definition of their morpheme (word part) then have students go around the room to try to make a word that makes sense. They may partner up in a pair of two or three depending on how many morphemes the word has.

    To differentiate this for EL students having a reference guide is helpful. To see which morphemes mean which definitions. (i.e -"dis" = not or no) This way they can understand their morphemes as well as others when trying to form a full word with their classmates.]]>     2023-06-07 17:41:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jennyryt/clfe4fm5489z73e2/wish/2617373356     Classroom Activity #2 jennyryt https://padlet.com/jennyryt/clfe4fm5489z73e2/wish/2617373745 Building Blocks
    Have students build large blocks that link together and write a prefix, suffix and root words on each block. Then have the student put the blocks together to make real words. 

    Example:
    En-, content, -ful, dis-, light, joy, de-, -ment
    Possible words to make: contentment, discontent, delightful, joyful, enjoy

    This can be differentiated for EL students if the teacher can incorporates flashcards with the blocks to use as a word bank to make words. This helps students so they can see the words on the flash cards and take apart the words with the blocks to make each morpheme.

    Teach the class the concept of affixes by explaining prefixes (parts added to the beginning) and suffixes (part added to the end). Create a list of root words and a corresponding list of affixes, encourage students to match the root with the correct prefix of suffix

    Example:
    Hope -ed 
    Base - ful
    Tempt -ment

    This can be differentiated for EL students by having simple root words to start and then scaffold harder root words. A great way to do this would be in partners or small group so the students aren't doing this alone and have the assistance from peers.

    Students will join a digital kahoot (if they are one to one devices) and can go through the kahoot quiz after a lesson on root words. Students can practice identifying root words with a list of words for each question and use multiple choice to pick the correct root words for each suffix, prefix or affix.

    Example words: hopeful, sleeping, carefully, powerfully, enjoyment

    This can be adjusted for EL students to allow them to have the text on their kahoot screen read to them so they don't have to read the words themselves.

This gives them a voice and option in what they want to do but allows them to understand comparisons, superlatives and phrasal verbs.]]> 2023-06-07 17:44:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jennyryt/clfe4fm5489z73e2/wish/2617375405 Addressing ELL Proficiency at home (for guardians) jennyryt https://padlet.com/jennyryt/clfe4fm5489z73e2/wish/2617376220 This at home activity addresses the various language proficiencies of ELLs because the chores can be read to them so they have assistance with word pronunciation. They also can identify morphemes of words on the choice board and it allows multiple options (which is more to read) but is more engaging to the child since they will do what they prefer. (Not realizing they are reading more when they are provided with options)

    They can also sort the chores into two columns with a venn diagram to identify chores the like or "dis- like", or don't mind to do either. This helps the child use phonology and morphology as well as engage the child and give choice with "at home" chores.]]>     2023-06-07 17:45:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jennyryt/clfe4fm5489z73e2/wish/2617376220
