SOUND FAMILIAR?
You know that morphology matters, but …
→ You don’t know where to start.Â
Which morphemes? What order? How deep do you go for 4th and 5th grade? Nobody handed you a map, so you've been guessing. It would be so much easier if someone handed you ready-to-go lessons and all you had to do was show up and teach.
→ You don’t have time for extra prep.
During school hours, you barely have time to sip your cold coffee. (And no, it’s not iced by choice!). Nights and weekends? You’re juggling family life and lesson planning. Morphology prep is an extra “to-do” your maxed-out schedule can’t swallow.
→ You don’t know if you’re doing it right.
You want morphology to do what it promises: stronger decoding and bigger vocabularies. But teaching it at true 4th and 5th-grade rigor, with words in real context? That's where it gets fuzzy. (Where's the 24/7 morphology help desk when you need it?!) And when you're not confident, it usually gets pushed aside.
Imagine this instead, because it’s totally doable…Â
You open the set. It's mis- this week. The meaning is on the slide, the examples are ready, the guided notes match. Nothing to look up, nothing to build.
When you start your morphology lesson, kids lean in. Even the ones who usually check out three minutes in.
They listen. They get it. They apply it. And before long, they’re stronger readers because of it. Â
That moment? It feels good in a way only teachers understand.
INTRODUCING
The Year of Morphology
Everything you need to teach morphology like it matters.
The Year of Morphology is 63 teaching slide sets that take 4th and 5th graders from "I know what un- means" to "I can take apart words I've never seen."
The best part? You can start NOW and be covered for a whole year.
Each morphology set includes:Â
âś” Ready-to-go teaching slides (Google Slides) that walk students from the meaning of the morpheme to real words in real sentences. Every example is written at a 4th and 5th-grade level and explained in plain language kids get.
âś” Built-in rigor, not just "un- means not." Students match meanings, find affixed words in context, complete word sums, apply spelling rules, stack suffixes (hopeful + ness), and build root word families (audible, inaudible, audition, auditioned).
âś” A poster for your wall and guided notes that match the slides, so students fill in the learning as you go instead of just watching.
âś” A "Show What You Know" exit slip plus answer keys for everything, so you always know who got it and who needs more.

(Because I know you like to mix things up and teach YOUR way.)
I taught morphology for years before I understood it.
Hi, I'm Jennifer. Former 4th and 5th grade teacher, and for most of those years I taught morphology the way most of us do. Prefixes one week, suffixes the next, a few roots later in the year. Check the box, move on.
I wasn't doing it justice. Not because I didn't care, but because I had no idea what it could do.
Then the science of reading research came out. I was home with a new baby and, for once, had time to read. I read Beneath the Surface of Words. I studied Bowers and Moats. I kept a notes app on my phone for words I caught in conversation, in books, in TV captions, and in texts from my teenage son. I verified every meaning before I trusted it.
And somewhere in there it hit me: this is what my readers needed all along. Not more prefix lists. The system behind the words.
That year is what's inside these slides.
You don't have to learn it first. You learn it as you teach it.
Most teachers don't have a year to spend on morphology. You don't need one. The slides carry the explanation, so you can open them on Monday knowing less than you'd like and close them on Friday knowing more than your students do.
PLOT TWIST:Â
Your kids already know un- means not. Now what?
Most morphology lessons stop at the meaning. Un- means not, here are three examples, done.Â
That's where The Year of Morphology starts. The spelling rule that changes penny to penniless. The way -ful and -less stack with -ly and -ness. The reason audition and inaudible are cousins. That's the part that turns morphology from a list into a system kids can use on words they've never seen.
Every set is built around that. Explicit meaning, real words in real sentences, word sums, spelling changes, and word families. And the sets reinforce each other, so students go from "I've seen that prefix" to "I can take this word apart and figure out what it means."
TWO WORDS: I'M IN!
Want the slides and everything that comes after them?
The Year of Morphology is the foundation. Inside All-Access Reading+, you get the same 63 slide sets plus the rest of the morphology collection: the morphology notebook, morphology of the day, matrices, word chains, and small group morphology lessons for the kids who need another pass.
That's just morphology. Reading+ also covers reading, grammar, and writing for 4th and 5th grade.

What changes when you teach morphology this way?
Kids stop memorizing and start noticing. Here's what teachers tell me they see:
They take words apart.
Every set moves from meaning to word sums to real sentences, so when a new word shows up, kids read it by its pieces instead of guessing.
"[The sets are] helping students break down and analyze words to determine meaning."
Amanda G.
They spot morphemes everywhere.
Once they've seen the system, they find it in their own reading and can't help pointing it out.
"They are recognizing morphemes in their work and talking about it in class now!"
Erin S.
Every kid keeps up.
Guided notes match the slides line for line, so students follow along instead of falling behind.
"My kids find this easier to keep up with."
Amy M., 4th gradeÂ
Made for teachers who want to teach morphology right,
without the overwhelm.
 The Year of Morphology is perfect for you if …Â
âś” Your reading curriculum mentions morphology but doesn't actually teach it, and you've been filling the gap yourself.
âś” You already teach prefixes and suffixes, but it feels like a list, and you know there's more to it.
âś” You want research-aligned instruction you can trust, without reading the research yourself.
âś” You want morphology to do what it's supposed to do, help kids read and understand bigger words, and you want to see it happening.
âś” You teach 4th or 5th grade. (3rd and 6th grade teachers use it too and pick what fits.)
One easy portal. Permanent access.
Everything is in one place. Download a single set or the whole year, and start teaching. It's a one-time purchase, yours to keep.Â
"This is definitely a resource I can use year after year!"
Danielle S., 5th and 6th grade
Tested by Real Teachers. Loved by Real Students.
So, how does The Year of Morphology work?Â
Pick a set. Open the slides.
Teach the meaning, walk through the examples, and let students fill in their guided notes as you go. Click through the practice together (match the meanings, find the word in the sentence, build a word sum). Hand out the exit slip. Done.
Next week, the next set. Your only job is the good part: watching kids figure out words.

"I appreciate every resource I’ve ever purchased and used from your collection. Your work is of the utmost quality and helps me in my own preparation."
Michelle L.
“Love this bundle! I've been on the lookout for teacher slides for word study, and this set sure does deliver! It's made my word study lessons so much easier.”
Morsel T.
“These are awesome – a must-have! Teacher-friendly and kids love them too!”
Becky C.
“These make teaching morphs so easy! Thank you so much!”Â

This can be the year you teach morphology like it matters.Â
Not the year you finally find time to research it. Not the year you build it yourself. The year you open a set on Monday and teach it, and by spring your students are taking apart words you never taught them.
I spent a year learning this so it could take you an afternoon to start. Your students are ready. Now your lessons are too.
I'M SO READY FOR THIS!
