Advanced Seminar - Intermediate/Advanced Prefixes
2024-01-11 19:00 - 20:30 | Online
We covered some beginning-level affixes in the training course, but how do we get into higher levels? We’ll go into more depth about dividing words morphologically vs phonologically and give you a possible roadmap for the order of introduction of prefixes. We’ll include a step-by-step strategy for teaching assimilated prefixes. Join us for an evening of exploration as we delve into the many prefixes that will expand your students’ vocabulary and ability to read and spell more complex content.

Advanced Seminar - Intermediate/Advanced Suffixes
2024-03-14 19:00 - 20:30 | Online
Suffixes hold a lot of power in a word. They can result in accent shifts (reside/resident), clarification of a schwa (fatal/fatality), and can change the sounds of letters (critic/criticism). Our focus this evening will not be on the ending rules. We will be focusing on the morphological and phonological impacts of suffixes. We’ll present a sequence for introduction and strategies for teaching them.

Recitation - Intake Evaluations - Knowing Where to Jump In
2024-04-11 19:00 - 20:30 | Online
The first time you meet a student there are so many aspects of their skills and personalities that need to be assessed. This recitation will revisit our process for doing the first session and we’ll go deeper by exploring other intake tests available and their usefulness for what we’re looking for. We will walk through a diagnostic evaluation looking for clues to help us understand the student.

Advanced Seminar - Teaching Roots
2024-05-09 19:00 - 20:30 | Online
Welcome to the melting pot that we know as the English language. There are hundreds of roots along with their derivatives, that come from many languages. Understanding the role of etymology and strategies for accessing useful information will help your higher-level students navigate through multisyllabic words while developing a deeper vocabulary.
