  1. Words Their Way Chapter 7: Syllables and Affixes Nora Vines

  2. Warm Up Journal • What orthographic knowledge must students have before working in the Derivational Relations Stage? • What have they already studied and learned?

  3. Focus • How consonant and vowel patterns are represented in multisyllabic words • What occurs when syllables join together (syllable juncture) • How stress or lack of stress determines the clarity of the sounds in syllables • How simple affixes (prefixes and suffixes) change the usage, meaning, and spelling of words

  4. Syllables • Syllable Juncture: explores the “rules” of spelling where two syllables meet. • Example Syllable Juncture Sort: • What do YOU notice about the words in this sort? What is the focus? How will you, the teacher, guide students’ understanding?

  5. Affixes • Affixes refers to prefixes and suffixes. • Example Suffix Sort: • What is the focus in this sort? How do you scaffold student’s understanding?

  6. Morphemes • The study of morphemes represents the meaning layer of our spelling system. • 2 types of morphemes: • Free morphemes are words that can stand on their own without prefixes or suffixes (base words such as able in disable). • Bound morphemes can not stand alone as words (un in uncover) • Because the spelling of morphemes is based on meaning instead of sound, the pronunciation may differ, but the spelling will remain the same. • Example: -ed signals past tense: shouted, worked, jogged. • Visit the link for everything you ever needed to know about morphemes  http://www.uhu.es/mpilar.ron/61109/units/unidad-2/resources/documents/Morpheme%20overview.pdf

  7. Vocabulary • Refer back to Vocabulary_Resource.pdf • You can use these activities for word study in the meaning layer.
