Morphology Cards Stage 5 & 6
Morphology Cards FAQs
Particularly from Stage 4, the phonic concepts often refer to meaning units, in the form of prefixes, suffixes and root words. While the phonic lists have always outlined the morphology teaching points, we have now added morphology flashcards to emphasise the meaning unit in equal measure to the phonic units. Refer to the examples below.
Is it necessary to upgrade programs?
- No. Earlier programs will still be effective, as long as schools are utilising Time-Savers Programs that are relatively recent.
- All existing programs already list the morphology units of meaning in the lists and in overview sheets. Refer to the examples below.
When will the upgraded programs become available?
- School Licences are always up-to-date, so no upgrading is required. As soon as the upgrades are implemented, they will instantly appear within the school licence versions.
- eBooks are already available.
- Hard copy editions will be available from March 2024.
How can I compare the versions in the school and what is available through the PLD website?
