🔎 Breaking Down the Word "Education"! 🧠✨Let's take a look at how this word is built.📢 Sounds: The pronunciation of "education" isn’t as straightforward as it looks! The schwa /ə/ appears multiple times, and the "t" is pronounced like /sh/—a great example of how English words shift in spoken form.🔤 Graphemes: Graphemes spell sounds. They can be made up of one or more letters.🗣️ Syllables: Syllables have to do with how we pronounce a word. when we say "education", we break it up like this: ed-u-ca-tion. Syllables revolve around vowel sounds and each syllable has one vowel sound. 🔍 Morphemes: Morphemes are the smallest unit of meaning.e- (prefix) = "out" (assimilated from ex-)duce (base) = "to lead"-ate (verbal suffix) = "to make, cause"-ion (noun suffix) = "state, act, result of"So education literally means "the act of leading out"—a beautiful way to think about learning! 💡🧐 Etymology & Relatives:Rooted in the Latin verb ducere ("to lead"), "education" is connected to words like induce, deduce, introduce, conduct, and reduction—all related to movement and guidance!📚 Teaching morphology helps students understand words deeply, making spelling, reading, and vocabulary stronger! How do you incorporate word study in your classroom? Drop your thoughts below! 👇Interested in learning more? Check out my blog post about morphology!

Comment “SENTENCES” if you’re looking for decodable sentences that could be used for phrasing. Do you have students who read in a choppy, word-by-word manner? Proficient readers group words together in meaningful phrases. A simple strategy can help developing readers do this, too! “Scooping” words into meaningful phrases helps with fluency and comprehension! I’d also throw in that it can lead to word recognition because students are getting more reps with the sentence trying to figure out where phrases are and/or rereading to pause between scoops. �✨ Beginning readers scoop fewer words at a time and more advanced readers scoop longer phrases for smoother, more natural reading. There isn’t always just one right answer. (For example, this first sentence would sound even better phrasing it like this: A man with a tie/has stain/on his coat.) The goal? Moving from choppy reading to fluent, expressive reading!�Older students may also use phrases as more of a comprehension strategy. I like to encourage my own middle schooler to break up super long sentences into phrases- comprehending one phrase at a time and building them together to comprehend the sentence. Have you used scooping with your students?📖💡#scienceofreading #structuredliteracy #iteachreading #readingfluency #fluencysnippet ##readingspecialist ... See MoreSee Less
