Do you need a resource and routine to directly and explicitly address irregular and high-frequency words? Once Upon an Irregular and High-Frequency Word takes the Fry First 100 Words and Dolch Word Lists Pre-Primer to Third Grade and categorizes them for systematic, structured, and multisensory teaching. Research says we should use a speech-to-print approach and move away from memorizing words, and this resource will support your students in doing just that. The instructor is provided an overview of the categories and a chart that outlines each word defining it is High-Frequency, Irregular, or Temporarily Irregular. The words are categorized using syllable types, spelling generalizations, common irregularities, and other helpful instructional components. Students are provided a word map where the instructor can support the student in hearing the sounds of the word, connecting the sounds to the spelling of the word, analyzing the regular and irregular parts of the word, and then using it for reading and spelling. Mini word cards are provided at the beginning to do an initial check, and the chart is built to revisit for progress monitoring.

Once Upon a Morpheme includes Introductory pages and controlled passages to support the instruction of beginning prefixes, suffixes, and roots. This resource compliments instruction based on the Orton- Gillingham Approach or a Structured Literacy approach in a one-on-one, small group, or classroom teaching environment. Use the pages and passages along with your individualized instructional progression to meet the needs of various learners. Introductory pages include follow-up activities with word building, opportunities for vocabulary study, and extension activities. The passages are written in various lengths in order to provide variety and fit the needs or  time constraints that a dyslexia therapy session might include. 

This book also includes a “First Skills” section for students who need to learn the six syllable types, syllable combining/dividing, accent/schwa, and soft c and g before they begin their journey into morphology.

Note: Morphemes are not defined, rather a space is given for you and your student to construct your own keyword and definition based on your training. This is not a scripted book, but a resource to support your literacy instruction.
