About this event
What's in a word? For adolescent learners—everything. In this full-day session, we’ll dive into one of the most
impactful strands of Scarborough’s Rope: vocabulary and morphology. As students move into middle and high school, the complexity of the texts they read and the ideas they express in writing increase dramatically. Vocabulary knowledge becomes critical. Participants will explore research-based strategies for teaching vocabulary in meaningful, lasting ways, with a special focus on morphology—helping students break down words into roots, prefixes, and suffixes to unlock meaning. You’ll walk away
with engaging, classroom-ready tools to help your students become confident in their vocabulary in order to read more deeply.
