Hello Morphology™ for Upper Grades: Join the Waitlist
Coming soon: Hello Morphology™ for Upper Grades
Your readers can decode. Now they need to read the long words in science, social studies, and every chapter book they open.
Hello Morphology™ teaches prefixes, suffixes, Latin bases, and Greek combining forms, then puts them to work in decodable chapter books that build background knowledge.
Grades 4–12 · 30 weeks · 4 days a week · 15 minutes a day
It's also the next step on the Hello Decodables path, for students who finish Yellow and Blue or read all 12 sentences on the Quick Phonics Placement.
Launching first as a printable PDF. Printed sets to follow.
The bridge from decoding to vocabulary, comprehension, and knowledge, in one 15-minute routine.
Most upper-grade students who stall on long words don't need more phonics drills. They need to see how big words are built, and they need real books they can actually read. Hello Morphology™ gives them both.
What makes it different
- Explicit morphology, every day. Prefixes, suffixes, Latin bases, and Greek combining forms, taught with one simple routine: box the suffix, circle the prefix, read the base, and put it all back together.
- 30 decodable nonfiction chapter books. The Background Knowledge Builders are written with each week's morphemes, about sled dogs, polar explorers, bridges, extreme storms, the deep sea, and more.
- Builds knowledge all year. History, science, engineering, and the human body, so students gain the background knowledge that drives comprehension.
- Optional comprehension pages every week. Aligned to the Reading Informational Text standards and the language comprehension strands of Scarborough's Reading Rope.
- Made for older students. A clean, grown-up design for grades 4–12, with no babyish clip art.
- Teacher-friendly. A one-page Quick Start each week, scripted lessons, color teacher morpheme cards, student word cards, sample completed pages, and answer keys.
Who it's for
- Grades 4–6 as a core word study routine
- Grades 7–12 as intervention for students who can decode but stall on long words
