This video introduces teachers to an easy method for teaching when to use the suffix -es instead of -s, by focusing on syllables. By listening for an extra syllable (for example, buzz becomes buzzes), students can apply this rule with ease, reducing cognitive load.

Learn an effective method for teaching compound words.

In this video, teachers will learn how to help students understand that word spellings have meaningful reasons, tied to their origins and structure. Teachers will learn to guide students in breaking down words into morphemes, demonstrating how suffixes like -en and -ed change and grammatical functions (e.g., quicken becomes a verb, wrecked an adjective). This approach encourages deeper comprehension of word structure and vocabulary development beyond memorization.
